Maps, Globes, and Videos: Parent-Child Conversations about Representational Objects

January 1, 2002 | Public Programs, Exhibitions, Informal/Formal Connections
This chapter discusses learning through the manipulation of three-dimensional objects. The opportunity to touch and interact with objects is helpful for young children as they attempt to understand abstract concepts and processes. How might parents guide children in coming to understand the complex and abstract symbolic nature of representational objects?
