Nonetheless, my child has displayed a schedule that is not consistent with his peers for certain activities, such as running, jumping and climbing. He’s not as bold as the others and a bit cautious.
For example, we purchased a scooter for him early on and even though the other kids were speeding around him, he didn't show any interest in doing the same. Most of the time we were carrying it around instead.
Here’s how books come to life.
While reading one of our favorites (from the board book options) in which modes of transportation are compared in terms of speed, we came across a picture of a child riding a scooter.
We really enjoyed this one and would choose it specifically for us to read. He'd step on his foot stool and search the shelves and I adore his participation.
Then, on an average day as I was doing the dishes (yawn) he zoomed by on his scooter in the hallway (something he's been doing more often and getting better at in the process.)
But, on this particular occasion, he made sure to make eye contact with me while he shouted, “Faaaaaaaaaaast and slow.”
“Yes, baby!” was my reply.
I knew he made the connection and don't we as parents always looks forward to these moments?
