Learn

Listening is active work. A listener turns toward the speaker, quiets other movements, and holds the words long enough to respond.

The grown-up says one short direction. The child waits until the direction is finished, repeats it if helpful, and then acts.

Study the model

Adult: Touch your head. Child waits, then touches head.

Read
