On Friday, November 11th, Americans will celebrate Veterans Day. The special holiday is dedicated to the brave men and women of the armed forces who risk their lives on a daily basis to keep the rest of us safe and free. They include members of the US Army, Navy, Ma- rine Corps, National Guard, Air Force, and the Coast Guard. The holiday was first celebrated on November 11th, 1919 by U.S. President Wilson as Armistice Day to honor the soldiers that served during World War I.

Page 15 Little Noles The Importance of Good Communication With Your Toddler Good communication helps children to develop confidence, feelings of self-worth, and good relationships with others. It makes life with them more pleasant now and helps them grow into adults who have good feelings about themselves and others. Although it is sometimes hard to understand your toddler, it is very important not to brush them off when they are trying to communicate with you. Below are some tips to help you communicate with your toddler and help him/her feel important in their world.  GET THE CHILD’S ATTENTION BEFORE SPEAKING- Call the child’s name and allow the child to turn his/her attention to you before speaking.  COMMUNICATE AT EYE-LEVEL-Make sure when you are talking to a young child that you are able to look at the child directly in their eyes.  TALK WITH (NOT AT) CHIL- DREN-Make sure that this is a “two- way” conversation when talking with November 19 a child.  MAKE REQUESTS SIMPLE-A young child will have a hard time remembering several orders given at one time.  *MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, LISTEN ATTENTIVELY.
