The Counting Exercise You Do with Your Child
As you teach your child to count, do you frequently start the exercise with the number zero? I started modeling the counting procedure (such as touching an object with each count) to my daughter when she was about 18-months old. Yet, it never occurred to me to include the number zero in the exercise. This number is not countable. In retrospect, I wish I had started the count with ‘0’, and slowly training her to see the number ‘0’ as part of the number continuum.
