Be careful not to point, gaze or gesture in the direction you want your child to go. Be aware of opportunities to point out direction concepts to your child when you are with them during a day. You can always work them up to that later. Other games you remember from your childhood may work for teaching directions as well. Look in a mirror with your child sitting beside you.
Most children love to look at themselves in the mirror.
Look in the mirror with your child and make faces, copying each other. Name the expressions you and your child are making. Ask your child to make a face. Whatever the expression, copy it and label it. There are many opportunities in a week to talk about your child's or other family member's feelings.
