Tip: Role play these questions
Ensure conversations are interactive by asking follow-up questions based on your child’s responses. Encourage them to think deeper by asking how they can apply the survival traits of the animals to solving problems in their own lives.

Additionally, consider discussing the importance of animal conservation and how understanding animal traits helps scientists and conservationists.
