13)Using activities which are repeated in anyway e.g. singing the same songs a few times on a regular basis will encourage communication and language development. Puzzles and shape sorters used regularly or doing it once for the child then letting the child have ago a few times will develop their skills further.
18)We don’t use tv/video's in our setting, but sometimes we allow children to watch short dvd on the computer. In your daily routine there should be a quiet time when children are read to or ‘read’ themselves, listen to calm music, etc. It helps children’s concentration, creative development, language. But they also need time when they can burn off their energy: running, jumping, dancing, singing, etc.
