Toddlers are fascinated with books especially those that have vivid and colorful visual prints and images. Engage her to browse at these books while you go on to read to her the adventures of little duckling or the classic Pinocchio. Remember, even though your toddler is too young to completely comprehend an entire story, this is a stepping stone in stimulating his imagination. Attentive toddlers would have lots of “why’s” while you are reading books to her. If you get tired of the constant why’s, don’t simply fall back on “That’s just the way it is” or “Because I said so.” Instead, try to deflect them by asking her what she thinks. Her answer may amuse you, but mommy, try not to laugh at him/her. His/Her mind is really working in amazing ways as your toddler puts together what information she has about the world with a toddler’s fertile imagination. If you truly don’t know the answer, tell her the two of you can journey of finding it out together.

Great idea to ponder on, huh!
