Eat Up, Buttercup!

Morning Table Talks with My Little One

খাওয়ানোর সময় নানারকম ভাবে বোঝাতে হয় কম বেশি সবাইকে। এগুলোর সাথে নিজের মতো কিছু মিলিয়ে মিশিয়ে নিতে পারো । বাচ্চার যদি সবসময় মায়ের মুখে বাংলায় শোনার অভ্যাস থাকে তাহলে কিছুটা বাংলা কিছুটা ইংলিশ মিশিয়ে বলতে পারো যাতে সে ঘাবড়ে না যায়। শুরুটা করা দরকার অল্প অল্প করে । খেলার মতো ভেবে সেও চেষ্টা করবে এতে অংশগ্রহণ করতে । ❤️
