Ok, so my default setting is to be lazy as fuck wrt to my DD's development and just let her pootle about as she likes. I think however that I should probably start re-evaluating my approach of benign neglect because apart from anything else she is far easier to manage when I interact with her properly.
So. This morning I learnt that she knows some letters, because she started naming out the handful of fridge magnets that were dumped on the table. Neither DH nor I has ever taught her and I've just checked with Granny (who was babysitting last weekend) and they're not her work either. DD must have picked them up from CM or from telly I guess.
Anyway, so how do you DO the alphabet with toddlers? Do I just write out all the letters and tell her what they're called? I just realised that I have no idea how children learn this kind of thing. But I feel like she would enjoy something like this and that I should do it with her.
Any tips MN?
P.S. She's 20 months.
