Host a Pretend Dinner Party

Invite your child (and perhaps a stuffed animal or two) to a make-believe dinner party.

Let him show off his sense of style by putting on dress-up clothes.

Welcome your child to the table. Serve your guests pretend refreshments and engage them in polite conversation: “Would you like some tea?” “Yes, please.” “No, thank you.” “Please pass the bread.” “Mmm, this is delicious!”
