#VroomTip: When at a window, follow your child's gaze as you point and chat about what you both see. Share where you're looking. Chatting about what each of you sees makes this a fun learning moment. Naming things also helps your child increase their vocabulary. #earlylearning

Young children learn best when you follow their lead. Tune into your child’s words, sounds, ideas, and movements! Then respond with your own words and actions.
