One of the most important things children need to learn is how to make good decisions. If you or others tell a child what to do all the time, she will not learn to make good decisions.

Being able to make good decisions

helps children become confident.

encourage your child to make simple

choices about things that affect her.

For example, sometimes she can decide

what to eat or drink, what to wear,

when to sleep, or choose what to do.

If a deaf child wants to make a decision

but cannot tell you what she wants or

likes, try asking her questions to help

her communicate what she would like

to do.

Everyone can help deaf children develop

social skills

Children who are deaf can learn and practice their social skills best when they are part of a caring community, and when they go to school. When children interact and spend time in a social group outside the family, they make a big leap in developing their social skills. Some communities have child care centers or preschools, where groups of children can play and learn together. The children understand that expectations are different in a group setting. They learn to share, take turns, and think about the feelings of others.

It is important for children who are deaf or cannot hear well to experience community events, take part in daily activities and discuss these with their families and friends. Parents, sisters, and brothers can help by taking a deaf child out as much as possible to public places and to visit relatives and friends. You can use every chance to teach the child how things work in the community.
