Young children need to develop social skills that will help them prepare for formal school. In order for children to be successful in school they must feel secure within them selves. As a care giver/parent you must nurture the infant/toddler's self-esteem. You should star this by allowing the infant to think for example: it the infant is climbing allow her to finish just make the space safe. Keep toys at eye level that will allow the child to reach and choose her own toy. Infants and toddlers begin making decisions very early,but they must be given the opportunity do it. This will let the infant/toddler begin to feel that she can have an impact on the world. It is important to respond to the infant when a need is expressed. When you give a prompt and caring response to the infant's need ,they begin to feel a sense of power. Over time they build trust knowing that their needs will be met.This is a very important gift .
Reposted-- The next few days will be blogs that were posted a few years
ago. I thought it was important to revisit these for the new subscribers.
