Things you don’t always think about…..
Learning to cut and paste
like getting ready for preschool. I can’t believe Luke is going to be three in just a couple of months. We have just about made it through one year of speech therapy. I wonder how many more to come? God give me the strength! It’s easy to get so caught up in the speech development that you forget about all the other important things. You would also think I would remember all this stuff (Luke being my third).Thank goodness Luke has such wonderful therapist that direct me and guide me on what types of things he should be working on. My baby is growing up. Just thought I would share a few ideas.
drawing lines from one side to the other
Can also reinforce up and down, and side to side
Matching,drawing, and finding similarities
A really fun idea for learning to cut, Is just printing some fun animal faces from the internet then let your preschooler cut out the whiskers. Luke loves that.
It’s easy to get so caught up in the speech, but so important to keep them on track with other areas of development.
Encourage the strengths and all the wonderful things they can do.
