How long can you dance around for?

It pays to enhance it whenever you can. Entice your child with questions like these?

• How fast can you run?
• How far can you jump?
• How long can you stand on one foot?

Tip 23

Use a game to encourage your child to become more aware of his or her own talents.

Think of actions your child likes to do and write each one on an index card. Then take turns picking a card and acting out what it says. As you pick each card, say out loud the words “I can…” Here are some child favorites!

* dance to music

* do a cartwheel

* draw a house

You probably have your favorites.
