I have blogged about this before but I will be mentioning it often because it is critical during the developmental stages of 0-3 yrs old. Fine motor/eye hand co-ordination (small muscles) and gross motor skills. The Cerebellum is one of the four major parts of the brain , it is responsible for initiating and timing movements and is important for balance ,posture and coordinating how muscles work together. The cerebellum begins to develop after the brain stem, but before parts of the brain that is responsible for conscious thought and action.
That is why you have to watch your baby at all times because they are impulsive they are not able to make rational decisions .As their brain develops you need to teach them reasoning skills.
They will need these skills in order to lean how to make independent decisions. It is very important to allow your infant/toddler to have choices.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
