Tips for parents

• Make sure the first ten numbers are comfortable first; the bigger numbers are built on them.
• Count real things past ten: stairs, grapes, steps to the park. Bigger numbers need bigger piles.
• Do a countdown in Dutch before something exciting, like opening the front door or starting a race.
