Description

You don’t need flashcards, apps, or a Pinterest-worthy setup to support your child’s learning. In this episode, we explore how the ordinary parts of your day, getting dressed, snack time, even meltdowns at the store, can become powerful, connection-rich learning opportunities. We’ll walk through specific routines and share practical ways to turn those everyday moments into lessons full of language, problem-solving, emotional skills, and more.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Presence over perfection. Your attention is the best teaching tool.
• Routines are rich with learning. Language, logic, and life skills are built every day.
• You are the curriculum. No special materials needed—just love, patience, and curiosity.

🛠 Tools & Prompts You Can Use Today

• Use descriptive language during routines (“This shirt is soft and stretchy!”)
• Ask open-ended questions at the store or in the car
• Introduce sequencing words (“First,” “Next,” “Last”)
• Try: “What do you notice?” or “Can you help me?” to spark engagement
• Narrate your actions aloud to model vocabulary and thought processes
