How to Talk About This Term with Young Children
For Forces and Motion: Encourage children to play with the forces of push and pull. “Why do you think this box is easier to pull? Why is this one harder?” “How can we use pushes and pulls to create or change an object’s movement?”
For Daily Routines: Talk with children about what you are doing and why. “Now that the vacuum cord is unplugged, you can help me pull it towards us to wrap it back up.”
