Teach your Child To Count To 20
There are a variety of ways in which you can teach
your children to count.
· Use pennies to help your child to count. (Of course, this can be a
choking hazard, so, if your child is very young, use Cheerios instead.)
;)
· Use paper with crayon, and write the numbers on separate sheets.
· Purchase a Leap Frog product which offers singing as a way for your
child to count from 1 to 20.
· Use a variety of books which teach children to count.
· If you have stairs in your home, count them with your child as you go
up and down.
· If you are exercising using weights or simply engaging in push-ups,
have your child near you and count while you are exercising....continued

While we know that some public school children
are lacking in mathematical skills, it important we become involved in
beginning the process to teach children to count from a very early
age. With a wide variety of tools available today, from books to
educational and interactive products, it is becoming clear that the
earlier a child is taught to count, the better off he or she will be
later on.
We know, and statistics have proven, that babies learn more at an
early age because they have the ability to soak up so much
information. Beginning the counting process as early as possible and
using whatever creative means necessary, can only help your child to
achieve by creating an inducement for them to want to learn.
Counting can be a fun and enjoyable daily routine in your home.
Include family members and siblings to help out. The process of
learning has taken on new meaning. More educational institutions are
producing learning tools and software to help children achieve. But as
you know, it is so important to begin at a very young age. While it is
true we did not have near the amount of educational tools at our
disposal, children are more fortunate today because everyone is
focused on teaching them to learn and retain what they have learned as
they progress through each grade level.
Perhaps these tips to get your child counting to 20 can be added to
your existing list of creative methods. While there is so much more
which can be done, the bottom line is it all begins with the number 1.
Figuratively and literally, your child is number one and the road to
educational freedom rests with you at the starting gate.
