Observe before stepping in
Watch for a moment. What is your child trying to do? Offer help when needed, but leave room for them to choose another approach. A simple “Tell me about it” can open a conversation.
Make it fit your family
A few minutes of pretend play or a walk together can be a starting point. Use materials you already have. Offer quieter options, movement breaks, or different ways to join in as your child needs them.
Partner with your child’s teacher
Share one thing you noticed at home and ask what the teacher is seeing during play. Compare interests and questions, then choose one small way to support them together.
When you have a concern
These resources offer general education and encouragement. Bring questions about your child’s development to their teacher, pediatrician, or an appropriate specialist for individual guidance.
