Help Your Child Celebrate Milestones

Children age 3 to 5 need appropriate congratulations and feedback when they are learning things. This technique is simple, but very effective.

Steps

 * 1) Celebrate a child's milestone or accomplishment by following these simple tips. Celebrate a milestone or new skill, such as learning to tie shoelaces. This button will allow everyone to know a special accomplishment or goal was reached.
 * 2)  Use a normal lapel button from a recent political event, or perhaps purchased at a dollar store.
 * 3)  Cut a piece of construction paper the same circumference as the button.
 * 4)   Write on the paper; "Special Day!"
 * 5)   Tape/glue the paper to the button.
 * 6)  (Alternately, write directly on the button if possible.)
 * 7)   Allow your child to wear this button all day.

Tips

 * You will find that almost every human who sees this button will ask your child, "Why is this day special?" This gives your child the opportunity to shine, as they proudly share their new achievement or knowledge with friends, neighbours, daycare workers, preschool teachers... anyone who asks.
