This section illustrates more ways that learning can be enhanced through everyday activities.

Questions to ask yourself:

• Is there anything you saw in these short videos that you are already doing?
• Depending on the season and the weather, what else could you help your child learn about when you are outside?
• Where are some of the places you go or could go to give your child even more opportunities to observe and learn new things? (park, mall, library, zoo, museum...)
• What were some of your favorite placed to go when you were a child? What made them special and memorable?
