We Care helps change the lives of our most vulnerable children through a wide array of services designed to meet the unique needs of each child.
It has the benefit of improving language (both understanding of language and use of language), encouraging attention, providing a calm, quiet way to wind down before bed, and encourages a lifelong love of reading. If your child isn’t ready to listen to all the words, you can just name the pictures, have your child name the pictures, point to familiar things, and talk about what you see. * Establish a bedtime routine with imitation of gestures (e.g., yawning, blowing kisses, putting your finger to your lips and saying “shhh”) * Give dolls/favorite toys a bath before putting them to bed and then wake them up * Look at the sky and talk about the sun, moon and stars.
Routines are activities that children can predict, remember, and participate in easily over time, because these activities are repeated regularly and the children learn what to expect! It can be something as simple as having your child help set the table each night, choose a book before bedtime each night, or sing a song as you wake him or her up each morning. Remember that to learn new words, kids need to have lots and lots of exposure to those words and opportunity to practice them in a meaningful context. While children may remember fun and exciting things that happened at home, they do not yet have all of the language that helps them share about it here at school.

When an adult in their life starts showing them pictures and asking them questions like What’s this? , If you want to get a young child to talk to you, a much more effective way is to pay attention to something that the child is interested in at the moment, and you verbally express interest in it. I wonder” statements as an alternative way to ask questions, as in, “I wonder what you are doing, Jenna?
