The next thing to take into consideration is how you want the laptop to look. Are you all set on the look and feel, is it important that it looks like an authentic laptop? The more authentic the look the more versatile it will be. For example, an authentic looking machine will offer animations, music and great graphics. These all add to the child's learning experience.
There are some toddler laptops on the market which have over 80 fun packed learning activities on them. Your child will never get bored with so many different games to choose from. You will simply be amazed how fast your toddler picks things up and learns. Their brains will absorb so much information that they will be learning from the moment they press the power button on.
I know last time he went around the corner, he came back, I wonder how long it will take this time before I see him again?"
This practice helps the two of you play out separation while still connected by the strand of yarn. You create a fun game in which your child can feel safe. With this game, your child begins to understand that you can be gone and you do come back. When all is going well, you can move to the final stages.
• Help your child cut the yarn but let the yarn drag on the floor; don't remove it yet • Continue playing the game with the strand of yarn dragging on the ground • Keep the game short and fun • Later, start playing the game without yarn • If your child resists, go back to leaving a strand of yarn on each of you until your child not longer needs it
Remember, "In order to get from what was to what will be, you must go through what is"
As with all new skills and changes in behavior, persistence is an essential tool. Replace yourself to get a breather After your child is comfortable playing the peek-a-boo game, you may start giving your child a transitional object.
• Give your child a scarf of yours (it smells like you) to learn how to fold • Practice folding the scarf before you go off to the shower • Soon your child becomes confident about folding the scarf (one or two folds is enough) • Excitedly tell your child what a good job, he or she did folding the scarf • Bring extra scarves for your child to fold while you are in the bathroom • Practice, going in and coming out quickly, then for longer times • Excitedly tell your child what a good job, he or she did folding the scarf
Notice that the focus is on your child's accomplishment, not on your leaving. You left your child with a task, you are a part of the task and you appreciate the effort your child put into learning to fold.
You may choose a project of building something or arranging cards, anything that takes some concentration and physical effort. When you do this, you have listened to and addressed the physical separation by giving your toddler a way to connect, without you remaining in the same room.
