Are there moments that you don’t know what to do with your child?
- Doesn’t want to take a bath.
- Doesn’t want to eat.
- Doesn’t want to pee and poop in the comfort room?
Here is one creative way on how to make your child do what needs to be done.
Introducing, the “ELEVATOR.”
I will not be telling you how to do this, because of its simplicity. Just look at the pictures.
Look at how my daughter uses it and loves it.
Things you can do to this ELEVATOR TOY:
1. Innovative way to make your child do what he/she don’t feel like doing sometimes.
If she is crying because she doesn’t want to take a bath. We just tell her:
“Take a bath in the 8th floor. Swimming pool area. We use a pail “balde” as the swimming pool”
Doesn’t want to eat:
“Go to the Restaurant, in the 7th floor. The chef cooked your favorite”
In Toilet training:
“You pee in the 3rd floor and poop on the 4th floor.
Sometimes she suggests what floor she would like to do it. The effects were amazing. No more crying and tantrums in doing the things she sometimes doesn’t want to do before.
2. It’s a creative way to teach “Ordinal Numbers”
1 – First
2 – Second
3 – Third
And so on…
3. It is an activity that helps your child understands the use of location. Such as up and down, inside and out.
4. Another purpose of this activity is teaching your child, correlation of location with an activity.
For example:
Eating – you go to the canteen or restaurant
Taking a bath – you go to the bathroom
Drawing and Arts – you go to the arts room
5 . You can be able to teach your child the value of recycling. By turning a trash (a cardboard box) with no value to a meaningful toy.
6. Finally, it is an activity that creates and increases our child’s imagination. You see, we have a very small house. But this activity transformed our room to a restaurant, a swimming area, an art school, a gym or even a garden.
Children are naturally inquisitive and with great capacity for imagination, activities like this can encourage your child to dream beyond what she sees and to feed her curiosity and seek for more knowledge. These things I believe will ready her in life.
We were able to use this trick for at least a month. I hope you can use this too.
Be creative,
