[blparent] Teaching your child braille

[Gloria G]

Hi,
What techniques did you use in teaching them braille? Did you start out the 
same way as you learned braille or as a blind person learns braille? I am 
asking because I am not sure when teaching a sighted child braille it helps 
to start with something more than something else or cover their eyes so they 
learn with their fingers, or something like that. Hope this makes since.
