Make a collection of leaves or pictures or coins or rocks or whatever your child is
interested in.

• Help your child figure out a way to organize the collection. For flat things, a scrapbook might be good, or see Appendix A for suggestions about how to make a book. For bulky things, a binder with pockets might work, or a box with dividers.
  
  
• Help your child figure out a way to display the collection so others can see it. A special shelf or a section of the fridge door might work.
  
  
• Give your child lots of time to talk about his collection. Listen.
