I have been struggling to get DS to learn what 'how' meant before he broke up from playschool. I read it somewhere about pretending to be a 'thick' robot!!!! So, I did!! he LOVES it!
DS says "mummy, can you get me a drink please?"
mummy says in funny robot voice "there is no mummy - only Mr Robot! I don't know how to get a drink - please tell me HOW."
I then make DS tell me everything by sequencing it because he can see it. So if DS says "get the milk" I would smack my hand into the fridge door until he says "open the fridge door!"
You get the idea anyway. Has taught him sequencing and best of all when you ask him a how question he understands it most of the time now! Just wanted to share as he absolutely LOVES me being this robot lol!
