When your child is learning to walk up and down stairs, hold their hand, and count each step you take. This helps them become familiar with their numbers and it’s fun!

Making connections between numbers and what they stand for (such as the steps your child climbs or the fingers on their hands), helps your child see that numbers aren’t just words they memorize. They actually stand for quantities of things. This is the first step in learning math.
