Young children want you to help them learn

Spend time with a little child and watch what he does.  Ask him questions about what he is doing.

Copy what he is doing.  If he claps his hands, then you clap yours.

Let children see what you are doing and tell them why you are doing it.  Let them touch or smell things you are using.

Smile and laugh with a baby or little child

If a child is scared, cuddle with him and let him know you are there and he is OK.
