I didn't know that teaching a child the concept of NO is very important at an early stage. I just find it amusing at first that he recognize the word and have a connecting head movement with it but I didn't know I am already teaching him a valuable lesson. As he grows, he will learn more the meaning when someone say NO and the reason why some things cannot be done or said by him. I think that is the beginning of teaching him the concept of right and wrong as well. For now I find Riley adorable when he looks at me as if waiting if I will say No or allow him when he do things. Here are some tips to make a child be the best that he/she can be:
For children 1 to 3 years
1. Allow him to play freely and safely. Fence off a portion of your house, make sure it contains no hazards, and let your toddler explore freely.
2. Teach him the meaning of no,especially when explaining why he can't go beyond his designated play area.
3. Talk to him whenever you dress him, feed him, or when you take him out on an outing. Help him absorb words by talking to him casually; name the part of his body as you bathe him. Let him repeat them.
4. Continue reading to him regularly. Choose books with simple stories about other small children or animals.
5. Introduce the concept of writing as another form of language. Show him what his name looks like in print.
6. Teach him how to perform a necessary skill, say, washing his hands or buttoning his shirt.
7. Look for toys that introduce concepts like in and out; inside and on top; and larger and smaller. When he's ready, go for push-and-pull toys.
8. Play simple games like hide-and-seek to help him form concepts about the permanence of objects not immediately in his sight.
9. Take him on excursions: a short bus trip, a train ride, or a visit to a fire station, the beach, and neighborhood parks.
