-Praise your toddler often for trying to count and recall numbers. Remember that your child is learning a new skill. Don't be critical of mistakes.
-Purchase an educational video about numbers for your toddler to watch. There are some great ones out there.
-When you are coloring, draw numbers, and name them as you draw them.
-If your child recognizes a number but gives it the wrong name, correct your child by saying something like, "Yes, I see a four. You are good at pointing out numbers."
-Show your toddler the differences and similarities of the numbers nine and six by turning them upside down over and over again while saying, "Now it's a six, now it's a nine."
-Your toddler will have a short attention span. Don't force your toddler to continue a game if he or she wants to move to something else.
-Engage your toddler in learning while you are playing. Trying to get your child to sit down and listen to a lesson on numbers will prove frustrating to you and the child.
-Consult your family doctor if you experience extreme frustration or anger when interacting with your child.
