How I Taught Alphabet Objects to My Toddler Before She Turned Two

Graphics, stories, screens, walk time, and questions can effectively engage toddlers

Children begin learning from the very beginning. Parents engage in “one-sided-talks” with their children, and the children store these words in their memory. After a few months, they respond with a smile, and after a year with sweet sounds.

For two years, they address you with their sweet dialect and turn your pain into a smile. These one-sided talks are unknown to them, but these are the sounds that nurture them and fill them with love.

In the half of the second year, children vocabulary learning get faster, and they start speaking the names of other objects as well. If parents focus on practicing language skills during walks or by asking the child about objects they point to, it greatly helps in developing their vocabulary.

Children enjoy listening to stories, and I used this as a way to teach my child new words. I would tell my child stories and when he started recognizing objects, he would ask for stories about his favorite objects or animals. His father would then tell stories specifically about those objects.
