How Can You Help?
• Watch your child while he or she is playing this activity. Check to see if
he or she understands how the mouse operates. Be sure to show your
child if he or she is having difficulty.
• If your child is unfamiliar with using a computer mouse, it may be help-
ful if you place your hand on top of your child's hand and help guide
your child during the first few times he or she uses the mouse.
• Allow your child lots of practice with this activity. In time, your child
should be able to manipulate the mouse quite easily. Remember, this
skill takes practice and patience!
