Helping kids to learn communication

My son is turning 6 this year, he is in class 1. I want him to learn communication in English. Is it too early to expect that from a 5-6 years old kid?

Hi Renu, it is not too early to expect. For this, you will have to make a concentrated effort to talk to him in English, and gently prompt him to respond in english as well. the more you and your family talk in english before him, the more easily he will catch. It will take time but kids learn it very fast.

Renu, there is not better way that what Divya has suggested. talk to him in english as much as possible, read him stories in english, get him to watch his TV shows in the english version, prompt him to answer in english and also play games such as 3 things you love about mumma etc. hoep this helps.

Thanks Divya.. thats a great advice. I usually try to talk to him in english only and he responds in a great manner (the first time i tried to communicate in english with him, i was surprised by his response. He made very good efforts to complete all the conversation in english and it made me feel good).
