Month 26 - How can you support development of the child in the 26th month?

You will support development of the child in the 26th month of its life if you:

  • ensure it has contacts with other children (its peers and older);
  • let it perform daily activities itself;
  • let it make decisions about games to play or other activities (while ensuring its safety);
  • will encourage it to name objects it sees;
  • will organise games to train its balance (e.g., swinging, climbing up a ladder, walking along chosen edges);
  • motivate your child through playing to undertake activities it previously failed;
  • will talk a lot with your child;
  • will teach your child songs;
  • encourage it to compete (but without rivalry) through various forms of playing.
