When my child doesn't understand same vs. different

Start by placing two identical items side by side and showing them: "These are the same, aren't they?" Move on to "different" only after "same" is understood. There are plenty of chances to practice in daily life too, like matching games or finding the matching pair of socks in the laundry.
