They also have conversations with puppets that they wont have with anyone else.
If youre looking for another way to communicate with your child, try puppets.
The trick, and this is important, is that youchange your voicefor puppets.
The puppets are entirely different characters, and children treat puppets as real characters with unique personalities.
The puppets are not you, so dont use your own voice.
Keep that in mind.
Puppets can really help when there is more than one character to bring to life.
They help keep that story youve read a bazillion times fresh and interesting.
The puppet is your spokesperson and is often more convincing than you are.
Fascinating, isnt it?
Mind your manners.Puppets are terrific at modeling good behavior.
you’ve got the option to have the puppet model the behavior you want.
Children have a curious knack for copying that behavior.
Learning new language.Children can sometimes be intimidated when learning new vocabulary and expressions.
Sometimes its because they dont understand, and sometimes they simply feel shy.
Puppets help with both of these situations.
For example, when teaching a young child to ask and/or answer Whats your name?
Whats the weather like?
But realize that children will eventually outgrow their fascination with puppets.
You wont be using puppets all the time, and youre teaching your child to listen to instructions.
Which puppet?All of them!
So get out those puppets!
you’re able to start by singing along with us!
