So, you've decided to dive into the exciting adventure of teaching your toddler or preschooler—YAY!

But now you're wondering, what should I teach first? How do I get them to listen?
Do I even have the time for this? Do I really want to do this?
These are all perfectly valid questions. But let me reassure you of a few things.
First, your child absolutely loves spending time with you!
So, when you invite them to learn with you, it will feel like you're about to embark on a fun adventure together!
And once they start learning and getting the hang of things, they’ll be even more thrilled to spend time with you because of their abilities and accomplishments!
Second, remember that children at this age, when developing typically, are naturally eager and curious to learn new things.
As we discuss in our "1-hour Parent/Caregiver Parent Power Webinar + Program," preschool and toddler-age children are developmentally ready and excited to learn!
So, be rest assured, all the amazing things happening inside your toddler's body are ALSO on your side!
And lastly, remember you have support.

There are numerous online resources to bolster your efforts. I'm not shy to admit that I've used many media resources and videos to teach my toddler!
Because there are many experts out there who do an amazing job--and do many things better than me!
In short, remember you've got this! Your child is eager to spend time with you and would love to learn from you. They’re likely ready to learn, and you're not alone—you have support. So get set, go!
