Kids Talk - 75 Ways to Encourage Children

I found this poster when I do my filing for Yong Shuan's Booklet. I thought it is something worth to share with all the mummy-to-be out there. I got this from my council maternal nurse office, sponsored by Victoria Government, Australia. These are just part of a long list, you can go to Best Start for the whole list of them.
