By that I mean not just encouraging them to socialise and look at books/play with toys, but actively try and encourage them to learn stuff?
I honestly don't know what I should be trying to do and as a SAHM currently I feel I should be spending my time doing more than just ensuring he is safe and fed.
We have recently moved and have just started him at a local playgroup that has a pre school progression at the age of 2 (he is now 14 months). We are also doing stuff like soft play. We were baby swimming but I haven't organised this yet in our new county. I don't have many pals with children here so can't say I'm doing lots of mummy meets or anything.
Otherwise he has lots of toys. I bought a Leapfrog phonics letter thing for him for Christmas and we play with letters, the alphabet. I've also got flash cards that I hold up whilst pressing the letters, we might do three a day as I don't want to harass him.
Is this enough or should I be doing more? I can't say he seems hugely interested in anything bar destruction lol, which I don't mind, as long as that enough stimulation
