We are not sure of Matai's understanding of either of these terms and this week we will aim to find out!
- Aaron is going to give choices - big / little spoon, big / little toast at breakfast
- I will also give choices of big and little during routine
- I will set up some play with - big and little cars, big and little stones, big and little balls, big and little shoes
- I will use playdough to make big and little.
2. 'Matai' - We will try to get him to produce his own name, probably by imitation.
As it stands, Matai calls himself 'you'. We sign 'I love .... Mummy, Daddy, Mia every night. When it is Matai's turn we say I love 'you'. Now when Matai runs through the family names, which is quite regularly, he says Mummy, Daddy, Mia and then points to himself and says 'you'. I know he knows his name is Matai as he responds to it, but I guess 'you' is easier to use!
- Reading his photo books, getting him to imitate, asking 'Who is that?
- Taking care to use third person rather than you, yours etc.
- What is your name?
