Limit the tv time and movie time. Read all kinds of books to them, interact with the child when reading them.

Use building blocks to build and play. Get down and play with the children. Get outdoors and play hopscotch and skipping and activities like that. Play guessing games, how many are in something, then count, let them see yes, you are close, No! you were way off, close their eyes and guess what you are putting in their hands. Teach them body parts, hands, shoulders, knees, ankles, different one that aren't as familiar to them. But give them time to play on their own too. Always give lots of hugs and kisses.<br><b>References : </b><br> At all those ages, good nutrition, great healthy snacks, stay off the processed food, natural foods should be given.
