Language and General Knowledge Kindergartners participate in many activities that require them to use language and to solve problems. Children who can't or don't communicate easily may have problems in school. There are many things you can do to help your child learn to communicate, solve problems, and develop an understanding of the world. Answer questions your child asks . You might point out how the leaves are the same, or how they are different.
Questions can help children learn to compare and classify things.
Answer your child's questions thoughtfully, and whenever possible, encourage her to answer her own questions. If you don't know the answer to a question, say so. Then, together with your child, try to find the answer. Evaluate your child's abilities and interests, and be realistic. Children usually do best in school when parents estimate their abilities correctly.
