5. Make-believe worlds. Make learning magical, mystical, and exciting. A simple way to do this is by sharing your love of books and the written word. Reading with children brings a book and its characters alive. Use your voice in different ways to give characters personality. Let go of inhibitions and witness how children smile as you relax, have fun, and become someone else. Your enjoyment of a book, the story it tells, and the adventures in which you travel come to life as your inner actor emerges. Exploring make-believe worlds with children sparks their imagination and encourages a self-directed world of role play.
