- Jesus loves little children! And He loves when children talk to Him in prayer. It is never to early too begin praying with and allowing your child to pray.
1. Begin by teaching your child to fold his hands and bow his head at meal time and bedtime while you pray. To begin, place your hands over the child's to hold them together.
2. Teach the child to say "amen" at the end of prayers.
3. When the child has a few words, have him repeat you. (Dear Jesus...Thank you for the food. Amen.)
4. Let the child fill in sentences as you lead the prayer. (Thank you for ______.)

- Point and count the elephant's legs.
- Find pictures of elephants in the books that you read.
• Sign Language:
"More" is especially helpful at meal time and snack time. Before you give the child another bite, help him sign "more." With repetition and consistency, the child will begin to use this sign to let you know when he would like more and eliminate the desire to scream for more. I encourage you to train the child when he is just a little bit hungry and not tired.
Sometimes understanding the description to sign a word can be difficult. Remember that the ABCJLM Sign Language Video contains all of the signs.
• Book of the Week Ideas:
- Point to the elephants as you read the book.
- Turning pages is a great fine motor skill. Since board book pages are thick, their pages are easy for little hands to turn.
- Point out other objects in the illustrations (umbrella, tree, drink, etc.)
• Fine Motor Skill: 
Pom-Pom Transfer - Create a small pile of pom poms on the table or floor along side a shallow container. Demonstrate to the child how to pick up the pom poms and place them in the container.
