You can touch his nose, hair or her ears. Show him how tall he is. Let your child smile, make faces and show him the image in the mirror. He will enjoy it.

2. You can also put a bindi or lipstick mark on his forehead and show it to him in the mirror. Your child can’t feel the bindi in the mirror but only see the image. Your child will then try to touch the mark on the mirror. He will learn and understand the difference.
