Helping your child learn to follow directions in a fun, non-threatening
way not only increases his thinking and problem-solving skills but
it also helps him understand prepositions and there relationship
to one another.

HOT AND COLD GAME
Choose a favorite toy of your child and hide
it while your child is in another room. Ask your child to
come and try to find their toy. When they go in the wrong
direction, hold your arms and say "brr, you're getting
cold". When she goes in the right direction, fan your
face and say "you're getting hot". Continue until
your child finds their toy. Repeat, if she wants to or try
reversing the roles in the game and have your child hide
a toy for you to find.
