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 Portuguese before something exciting, like opening the front door or starting a race.
