The best time to learn another language is when children are young.Their brains are programmed to acquire language and there is no limit on the number of languages ​​that can be learned at a time.

It is well known that we all learn best in a relaxed and entertaining environment.We know that when we enjoy learning be do much better.In the case of children, something that is greatly enjoyed is singing and dancing.

Take advantage of moments of play to play children’s songs in English or French!Allow the child to imitate the sounds you are hearing.Many of these songs have instructions on what to do to follow the music, like the Hokey Pokey, encourage children to dance.Other songs have choreography, like Itsy Bitsy Spider, teach him the moves and have fun playing.

The child’s ear will get used to the new language and before you know he will speak it.One way to support this learning is reading stories with illustrations with the child sitting on the lap and following the action.

This is the motto of an online campaign to promote reading habit among children.Children learn by example and their main role model is their parents.The child will imitate what his parent does, if the parent chooses reading as a means of entertainment, the child will do the same.If, however, the father prefers the television or computer, the child will too.

Besides the example, another thing we can do to promote the habit of reading is to read to children when they are babies.As the slogan says, children sit on our lap as we read stories of fairies, beautiful princesses and brave princes, and why not, brave princesses too!

There are stories about animals, about the different stages that the child is going through as potty-training, dropping the bottle and the pacifier, the arrival of a sibling, or a dog;also on how to help in sad moments such as a separation.

Choose books with pretty pictures and big letters and let the child follow the reading with his eyes while you point the letters with your finger.
