Keri Spence Lovaas Institute - San Diego
A frequent claim that I hear from parents is that there is not enough time during the day to devote to learning. So how can parents include learning opportunities in their daily tasks? Output at the supermarket is a normal domestic activities that may constitute such a chance. The following suggestions may be appropriate to a child who can follow simple instructions and showed her parents that can engage in a short out to the supermarket.
It may also be important that he has learned first to follow instructions with pictures.
LEARNING TO USE A LIST OF EXPENDITURE
Create your child to a shopping list with pictures to follow
In preparation for your output, choose and cut 3-5 images of articles from the poster of your supermarket to bring to your child.
1. Write a short shopping list. Then glue the pictures taken by the poster under the name of each item of the list. To capture the interest of child, family, or choose items that he prefers, for example, "paper plates" or pretzels.
2. Repeat often an important component of learning. Therefore, your child may benefit from practicing the same list or from getting some of the same items during repeat visits, so you can make copies of the first lists.
3. Make the exit for spending more reinforcing with a list that contains at least one food item that you really like your child (eg. Candies, fruit juices).
4. The items in the list can also be presented in the order they are placed in the supermarket
Help your child find each item on the list and put it in the cart.
1. Determine when and how you will use the list. Consider these three strategies: you can let your child find all the articles at the beginning of the tour or all of the spending at the end or during the tour when it reaches its corridor.
2. Every time your child finds the correct item, reward him with great praise.
3. Initially, you drive your child to the correct position on the shelf and ask who has the item in the cart. Gradually during the next exit, you decrease the amount of aid provided
As your child gets good at following his list, gradually increase your expectations, but remember to praise him for his effort, show him how proud you are of him.
1. Each output also add new items to the list
2. Subsequently, shopping in the grocery store can turn into an activity shift with the brothers as they can in practice '"is my turn" "it's your turn."
WAIT FOR CASH
When it comes to speakers, remind verbally and must wait. You can also submit a visual prompt such as an icon or the word "hold" on a printed card.
If your child understands the situation, "it's up to the first X, then Y, "uses this game when waiting at checkouts. An eye-catcher may be used in submitting a piece of paper laminate consisting of two columns. The board of the icon or the word" waiting "may be" in the first "column and a symbol for an item of reinforcement can be displayed" then "in the column.
Bring along a few small toys (eg, squeeze balls, bright toys, video games or PDAs) to help affect your baby while you wait. This may also help to prevent it from reaching candies that are trying so much! If your child needs an more directly, use what's available in your shopping cart or check out the row.
1. Select a magazine from the cashier. Ask your child to identify objects in the bin. You can also ask them to identify actions or emotions of the people in the images.
2. Take the opportunity to practice the letters, teaching your child "tells," or asking, "What letter is this?"
3. If you select a bin of food to cook, ask your child to name a food in the image and start a simple conversation about food (for example, ask, "What is your favorite food?")
Take your child to participate in putting food on the scale
If he can wait on the line of demarcation of their shift immediately rinforzatelo.
1. The reinforcement can be a part of an item purchased at the supermarket.
2. The reinforcement may have to be held more frequently initially (eg, every 1-2 minutes while you wait) or immediately after waiting on line (rather than you until you reach the car).
MONEY AND PURCHASE
Working knowledge of money while waiting to checkout
1. Ask your child to identify imitate or repeat the names of coins and banknotes
2. Ask your child to identify the values of each coin.
3. Count the coins / banknotes.
Select one or two items for your child to pay.
1. For beginners, the first step is simply to spend the money to the cashier. Are you offering an opportunity for interaction with another person and you are teaching the value of money. The child receives a favorite item after it is paid with the money.
2. If your child has already learned the skills of the money listed above, ask for accounts that have been out of the money needed to buy his product.
Establish a specific time to teaching can be almost impossible in the hectic day of the parent. With a little practice, systematic teaching can be understood in daily procedures such as shopping in store. This is just one way in which the family can be involved and be able to use a behavioral approach
Share your experiences with your child during the daily routine of errands. Have a strategy that will help you meet your needs and the needs of your child
