Active listening

Taking your young child to different spaces help them to sharpen their listening skills and they are learning how to socialize.

Development Skills

It is important for you to know the ability of your child it is not healthy to put your child in situations that  she is not able  to manage.When children are placed in situation that they are not able to manage they become frustrated and that affects their self-esteem  and their confidence . In order for children to  develop their skills they need time to practice and patience from caring adults that understand that when children have social emotional and cognitive skills they will become successful in kindergarten and life.You also must allow them to take risk.

Play- social skills

Play is very powerful for children's development  and play begins early with your new baby . The first rattle that you give your baby she begins to play with it. You also need to teach your baby how to play by playing with her and allow her to play alone also.It is critical that you give your baby  a safe space to play where she can freely explore .Infants and toddlers develop a number of skills during :

I walked over  and removed my  back pack from the stove.

Ability to focus

The ability to focus begins very early by training the brain  and  providing  the tools . I have worked with children from kindergarten to the high school and one of the big problem is their inability to focus . Allowing  infant/toddlers to  play and  allowing them to choose what they want to play with allows them to develop their focusing skills .Researchers  have found that when  infants/toddlers  choose items that  they want to play with they spend a longer time playing . This helps them to focus longer and they begin to learn self-regulation.The ability to focus may be the most important skill that your infant/toddler will need for school. It is best to develop these skills before your child get to  formal school.

Cooperation

Last week I handed one of my cards to a parent and told him that I have a parent blog ,do you have any advice for a four year old that does not listen?
This is a normal part of development for four year old. They do not readily cooperate ,they push the limit to see how much they can get away with .For example they need to get dress and you  give  them their clothes when look and they want to play with their truck but you have to leave at a certain time.You need to explain to them in a calm voice that they need to put the truck down get dress then they can continue to play. This will need to be done several times because understanding the language and the action takes a while for them to comprehend . You have to be patient because once they get it you can move on to the next level .Some behaviors are normal developmental stages and you must guide them through .No and why is also their favorite words.

Physical development

It is critical for you to give your baby tummy time . This helps to to develop the trunk,neck,the arms and the legs . The baby will get ready for crawling,sitting up etc.Having babies on the floor is the best way to allow a  fine and gross  muscles . There is a section of the brain that is responsible for  movements  and coordination of muscles given young children the opportunity to move around is critical for their physical development .When your baby gets to school being able to hold their pencil to write is important running with their friends on the play ground and keeping up is important  when these skills are not developed it affects their self-esteem and self-confidence.
With young children you are focusing on building the  basic skills for them. Children are developing active listening skills and painting ,adaptive social skills.

Empowering yourself

As a parent it is important for you to become aware of the different delays that young children can have and how to notice delays and  the services that are available. However ,when you are an informed parent you can prevent some of these delays by doing intentional teaching.
Having information is very important because you can empower yourself. Yo can find more information on this link.
