A great way to connect with your child is to spend time interacting with them. This might mean going grocery shopping together, playing a favorite game or toy together, singing to songs in the car together, or going for a walk together.

Provide opportunities for your child to practice making decisions, such as choosing between two choices, asking them open-ended questions, giving them simple tasks, being a role model, and identifying different parts of a problem.
