Does <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they<\/span> fight dragons and construct entire castles in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> mind? Chances are, the answer is no unless <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they watches<\/span> a lot of Disney movies &#8211; or maybe you read <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> historical speculation about medieval sieges as bedtime stories. Instead, it\u2019s much more likely that <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> play-pretend games are about the things <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they sees<\/span> every day, whether that means putting a doll to bed following the bedtime routine you use to tuck <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span><\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into bed, or acting out using the construction crane that you drive past every day on <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> way to preschool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The familiarity of these scenes isn\u2019t a sign of a failure of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> imagination, though &#8211; there\u2019s every chance <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019ll<\/span> imagine all kinds of strange things that will leave you wondering \u201cWhere did <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they<\/span> get <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from?\u201d as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they gets<\/span> older. For now, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> using these imaginative-but-familiar games as a way of making sense of the world as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they understands<\/span> it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that these pretend games are an early window into <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> still-developing sense of empathy. By&nbsp;beginning to put <span data-pronoun=\"themselves\" class=\"pronoun-themselves\">themselves<\/span> in someone else\u2019s shoes, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> starting to think about what other people might think and how they might feel. You can help foster this growing empathy by talking to <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> about how you feel and about other people\u2019s feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also help foster this early tendency towards empathy by making a point to make reading a part of <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s regular routine. Reading is another great way to build this sense of what other people might be feeling because, unlike in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> pretend play, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they doesn\u2019t<\/span> have to guess or make up someone else\u2019s feelings &#8211;&nbsp;<span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they can<\/span> actually see them play out on the pages of&nbsp;<span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> storybook. Guessing and making up what someone could be feeling in a pretend game is a great way to practice using empathy, but books, and the chance for insight that they bring, give <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>&nbsp;even more tools to make those guesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading with <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> will also give <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> a boost in school a few years down the road &#8211; the more words a young child is exposed to before starting kindergarten, the better they tend to do there. You can also work on giving <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s vocabulary a little bit of pizzaz by speaking to <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> using some bigger and more complicated words. <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">They might<\/span> not understand what they mean right away, but by this point, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they understands<\/span> the rest of what you say, so <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they can<\/span> use the context to work out what these new words mean.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Milestones<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Puts together five- or six-word sentences: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s been speaking in sentences for a while now, and, slowly but steadily, those sentences have probably started to get longer and more complex. In the time leading up to <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> first five- or six-word sentence, you may notice <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> starting to use different verb forms and pronouns (and eventually you may even start to notice <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> using them <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">correctly<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and&nbsp;soon <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they may<\/span> even start to be able to use adjectives &#8211; as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they learns<\/span> <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> colors and shapes and learns about opposites like big and little, hot and cold, and wet and dry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can count to three: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019ve told <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> how old <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span>, or how old <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">going<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be, or maybe <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they has<\/span> a counting book.
