Question

What do i need to start teaching my two year old?

Answer 1

Try singing her/him their ABC's and having them sing it back. Work on numbers, and letters. Colors and shapes! Play games...songs that tell them things to do are great for young childrens...like hokey pokey and such!!! But mainly just interact!! hope this helps

Answer 2

You could have done this as early as one. Kids catch on quick when there that  young. Like treats start counting them out., go to the number 5 and then clap when your done. Don't make them repeat if they don't want just let them see that this is a fun way to learn. They will start doing it in time. Now with letters start using those with clothes and things like that. Like shoe starts with s and etc. At 17 months my daughter can count to 10 and sign water, eat no,yes,more and please and thank you. Don't push it 2year olds will learn on there own time.If you do this on a daily basis it becomes an on going learning process that you and your child will see as just a regular day

Answer 3

Alphabet, numbers, songs, colors, manners, start potty training, playdates to interact w/ other children.

Answer 4

The most important thing I found to teach my boys when they were two, was the meaning of the word NO. They are now 6 and 8 and have no trouble understanding that just because they want something doesn't mean they get it. A lot of my friends gave in to their littlies every wish in the hope that it would make them feel loved but now they have teenagers who don't understand about consequences, and think they deserve to have everything they want and stamp their feet to get it.

I taught my guys letters and numbers from very early on, it's never too early in my opinion. My eldest was reading Harry Potter books before he started school, and while my youngest didn't have quite the same degree of interest in it that his brother did, he's still ahead of his classmates because he's known the basics for years. Don't force the issue, but if you can get him or her to do an alphabet puzzle with you for as long as it's fun for them, it's all good learning.

And reading to them is the best way to teach them anything, from  social skills and situations, colours, numbers, anything you can imagine.

Enjoy your two-year-old! They grow up so fast!

Answer 5

Flash cards, books, and preschool level games.  Are a good start.

Answer 6

General socialization skills are great to teach your two year old.   Attend play groups or meet with friend for play dates.  It is important for a two year old to be able to socialize, share and follow directions just as much as learning their ABC's.  Learning to take turns, and play with others cooperatively.(i.e.  without grabbing toys, hitting,  important)   Children learn just by playing.    Play contributes to all forms of learning -- physical, social, emotional and intellectual -- by stimulating the child’s ability to acquire and process information.

Answer 7

I have simple and very  cheap and really works.

pieces of white paper

colored pencils or crayola

scoth's tape

write big A nd small a on each of the papers

with your crayola and then tape it on your walls, and some in your 2 year old room, actually anywhere that she will be that she will always see them not touch them. (because she will just tear them all.) She can touch them when you already can talk to her and she understand what you said.

Use them all the time you have a chance. Everyday.

Put some numbers too.  As she grows, add consonant to the letters, then letter becomes words, names, dates, year, months, pronouns, ....it's fun.  Then introduce how to write, and how to draw. Then how to ....oh you know....! have fun with my idea.

Answer 8

The best thing you can do is read lots of books, sing songs together, play together, let them do art and express themselves, play outside. You could teach the ABC's and to count and colors, but I suggest just playing and having fun at this age is best.

Answer 9

read to them, sing preschool songs like ABC's and twinkle twinkle, let them use pencils and crayons to start their motor skills, say color words when handing them crayons and counting to 5 or 10.  Don't go nuts.  Just expose your child to things.  Talk to him or her and play!!

Answer 10

the best things to teach your child is to love books and reading (both on his/her self starting with reading pictures and especially with you reading to him/her and seeing others around them reading on a regular basis)....and that play is fun and that means doing things on his/her own and playing with you, or other adults and children in their lives.

reading to your child encourages them to read and look at reading materials(books, magazines, newspapers, boxes, etc)and eventually leads to them wanting to be able to read themselves and to learn about letters, numbers, words, sentences, etc; being able to these simple things not only teaches them to love to read but encourages them to be more observent, encourages them to want to learn more and leads to them trying to find answers to their own questions and how to find them.

when you "teach" your child to have fun you are opening lots of other possibilities. children who know how to have fun with themselves and others will have little to be bored over, and will ideally find lots of things to do(not just tv and playing on the computer)give them lots of what now may be considered "old fashioned toys" like:blocks(of all sorts), dolls (without batteries), crayons/paper(and lots of other art materials), cars/trucks/boats, animals of all sizes and materials, and be sure they have access to parks, libraries, stores, museums, and other public places to observe and ask questions about and enjoy.

and most of all LOVE them and let them know that you may not like what they do but that you will always love them.

Answer 11

general question like what is this?

Answer 12

Time and concern, children's storybook, coloring book or piece of paper and few crayons. Tell him good night story; if he shows interest let him help you make meals. Teach him how to hold children's storybook or magazine with colorful pictures, and look at pictures with him telling him what in picture, and if in children's story book discuss how it relates to story as you read it to him.
