How Young children learn- Discoveries

Babies are born ready to learn however, you must provide the tools, opportunity  in order for them to learn the skills that they need within the first 2000 days birth-kindergarten. Infants love to explore they are always touching something, climbing or opening doors. Children need to explore with in a safe space . Your home must be children friendly and it will not be very neat. Young children will move from one activity to the next plus different items must be available for them to transition to. Having several items also teaches them the  ability to make choices. I have observed my grandson made discoveries and got so excited,  for example the first time he discovered that his red ball bounces. He had a look of amazement on his face and continued the behavior for about five minutes.
 Too  often we want to teach  infants/toddlers instead of allowing them to make their own discoveries.
We are going to look at the six discoveries in infancy that was developed by J.Ronald Lally  at West End.
