Children learn by imitation, both good and bad, will look at you and will have you as your greatest reference. Take the opportunity to show by example both values, manners and education, and to eat with a varied and balanced diet.

How do children learn?
The children repeat the behaviors of the elderly. If you don't want them to say tacos, it's best not to say them yourself. If you want them to read, the best thing you can do is read a lot and see that handling books is common at home. And so with everything.
In addition, children like to play to be older, and that is why they are habitual the games that mimic the behaviors of parents: play with mums and dads with dolls, play cooking, driving ... So they discover the world and learn what they will have to live in the future.
After two years, the symbolic game: it's about the ability to make mental representations and play with them. Children are able to play alone, spontaneously and naturally, without anyone directing them, through symbols. They make a pencil a comb and comb their wrists, or that a stone is a train that goes along a path. Symbolic play is probably the greatest learning instrument that exists, since it helps them with language, with socialization with other children, and to develop their skills. Playing is the best way to learn..
From the age of four they begin to socialize more, and the group games they love them. It is also the time for them to start reinforcing things they see in school, such as numbers, letters, shapes and sizes, and that they do it having fun, to practice what they have learned. They also like educational games like puzzles, mazes or coloring games. Small problems that pose a challenge to solve.
