It is important that you build your young child's vocabulary and their cognitive skills this helps them    with their meta-cognition. Communication skills are critical for life .

The Museum of Natural History

We went to the museum on Monday and this is the line to to get in .

Art

 Art is a very important part of brain development . It helps he young child to develop
their pre- writing skills
 the  ability to create freely ,
 they  learn  their colors
it is a science  these are a few of the skills they are learning while they are painting.

We went to the museum on Monday and this is the line to to get in .

Reflection -taking initiative

You must allow opportunity for  your child to be reflective . Here are a few things that you can begin with discuss the child's day and be specific , what story did you hear today,what centers did you play in and which friend did you play with today. Do not take over the conversation allow  your child to drive the conversation and you listen ask open ended questions : Why do you think.... What was your favorite part of the story......These questions allow the child to do reflection on the experience and helps  to build  critical thinking skills.

Creativity and inventiveness

You should allow your child to be creative try not to use the word no before the child is three years old . You are saying how do I do this ? You should make that space safe this allows the child to explore and explain behaviors that you want by explaining  the reason why that behavior is inappropriate. Encourage young children to be creative and celebrate their creativity ,in thought also.

This is a creative activity using the pan as a hat . You should say wow I like your hat .Validating children is very important.

Play

Play is very important for young children . Play also helps them to focus when ever you are out you should take a book and a fer toys that will keep your child occupied and focus. If your child is young you can search for older post.We also have a radio program that you can listen to at Islandvoices.net 24/7 and you can also listen on your phone 401-283-6551. Please feel free to share with your friends.

Initiative

It is important that you give the young child opportunities that will allow her to build her confident and she will be encouraged to take new opportunities for example :If you are doing laundry the child will volunteer to help,if you are cooking the child will ask can I help you. You should always say yes and give the child a job that they can manage.
 In the laundry room you can have then put the coins in the machine and when the laundry is finish have then help to match the socks ,this is called sorting,one to one correspondence, they can also learn their colors, and learn how to focus, listening skills and following directions and bonding, among other skills . These activities builds the child's self-esteem and self- confidence.

Adapative social behavior- Group activities

It is very important for young children to be given social skills and different experiences will help the young child to develop social skills. Young children must learn adaptive social behavior  in a group setting .Here this child is at a winter festival that was help in the projects  and he is getting his face painted . Young children must be exposed to different spaces . Children begin to learn how to wait their turn on line ,they learn not to push and begin learn or putting in practice the rules they have been learning.

Social skills-

When you take your baby or young children out you should take something to keep the child occupied : For example take a few books ,some toys and if you are driving have some children CD playing. Music is very  good for young children it teachers a lot of skills that they need for school such as memory skills,active and passive listening skills,patterns,cultures ,geography and many more skills.

Setting rules- Social Skills

Your four year old is in his ego stage his favorite words are ,mine,no and why getting him to cooperate is a challenge plus  he may have a  strong  temperament, the child will insist on wanting to do things on her term.You have to be persistent when you say something you have to mean what you say  and the child may begin to cry but you must insist that what you say you are going to stick with it.Cooperating with you at home is very important your child must respect you as an authority figure this will transfer to other adults and especially when your child gets to school. The ability to cooperate will make it easy for the child to transition to school,adhere to socially acceptable behaviors and in so doing makes it easy for the child within a classroom setting. The ability to co-operate and adapt to  different environment is critical . Learning more about how the brain develops  will help you along  your parenting journey.

Approaches to learning

How your child approaches learning will depend on the experiences with learning and the stimulation of the brain that you have been doing with your child. You must have a variety of toys at home for the child . Interactive toys are very important they help your child to build their critical thinking skills,problem solving  and they begin learning how to focus. Young children learn a lot of skills through play and learning begins at home through play. Things must be at eye level where the child can reach them when the thought pops in their brain. You can get more insights at this link.

Children should be given the freedom to play when they want to at home. Home is where that child should feel comfortable to  take risk and  should have support.

Science at home

Children love to do experiments all the time they will mix their food together just to test how it will taste.This morning I have Ajani his breakfast and he decided to pour his milk on his eggs and eat it . I asked him how does it taste and he said good. This is science so when your four year old mix their food just allow them to experiment . Children need to feel free to try new things.If the child makes a mess just have then clean it up .

Male involvement in the early years

Years ago fathers were just seen as the bread winner ,however today's dads are more involved in the nurturing of their children  and the research shows that it has a positive impact.You can find more details at this link.Fathers need to be involved even if they are not living with the child. If you both have a conflict remember that the child did not ask to be born both adults decided that and therefore you both need to work together for the best outcomes for the child.

Language development

Learning takes place everywhere . That water looks good

Building a brain

Experiences is the key ingredient for building a brain, building vocabulary and speech .

what is this

Time out is out -has been out - giving language to deal with conflicts

My grand son came home a few times and told me that his teacher gave him time out  one day I asked the teacher why he was given time out "he took the ball from a student and kicked it hard over the fence  he was very aggressive".
I first pointed out that the child just turned 4 yrs   and that behavior is a normal behavior because he is impulsive  .He gave the child time out  and that  I do not know how that explained the expected behavior . I also explained that he should redirect the child  instead of giving time out  plus he is using code words like aggressive  I explained to him that children take on the character of certain and that  his behavior was not appropriate.

Scissors -

If your baby is two years old you should get her a safety scissors for her to develop her cutting skills . This is one of the skills she will need when she gets to kindergarten it takes infants/toddlers to time before they are able to master some skills therefore you have to get it going early . You should not wait for the child  to get to school at home they have one on one attention  and when they get frustrated you are there to encourage them to do some thing else and go back to cutting later. I bought him a scissors for his 2nd  birthday . He took it our and held it as if he cut before it took him six months before he was able to cut a piece of  paper.

Think about the brain -Fine motor skills

The holidays are here and as your purchase toys for your young ones please keep in mind that the toy must be age appropriate ,interactive and must be able to help with the development of the brain .

Intentional teacher is very important  during the early years because you are giving the foundation for later learning. Playing with a train set helps children to focus ,problem solve ,and a number of other skills. ADD attention deficit Disorder is a big problem and the toy that you choose can help the young brain learn how to focus this also helps to develop the fine muscles in the fingers and the eyes. An I -Pod will not develop the muscles in the fingers and young children learn by interacting with people and concrete items.

Diversity

This coconut is good.

Check out this move

Young children like to take risk.

Socialskills

I remember a few months ago when you told Ajani to clean up or to stop his activity because it is bed  time he would began screaming and saying "no I do wanna go to bed" since last week for the same instruction  he is now calm ,ask for a story ore he pick a story and hen ask for his sleeping song.

Development is a process and understanding rules and  respecting them is critical . As the child grows there will be more rules and he will soon learn that in society we have rules this begins  when the child begins to interact with people out side the family : school setting,baby sitter etc.
 You have to be patient with your young child.

Different experiences-Social skills

Reading everywhere

In order for babies to get ready for reading books must be every where and the care giver must be engaged with the child.

Diverse setting

Yard sale

Appreciating diversity- Cuban band

Play is very important

 Play is a part of social emotional development.

Apreciating diversity

You must expose young children to diverse settings that is a part of their social,emotional and cognitive development. It is also important to speak with the child about the space that you are in.Language skills is a daily activity.

Adapative social behavior -Diversity

The Pow-wow October 2015. It is important the you take your infant/toddler to different spaces for the to have different experiences.

Social emotional Development-Adapative social behavior

Your infant /toddler begins to understand that certain adult action is associated with expected behavior ( for example when I here a certain song It is nap time)birth to 18 months
18-36 months -begins to show empathy when some one is hurt . You toddler learns this from the care giver's reaction when they are hurt. Your are the mirror to the world and they view the world through your reaction to experiences. It is important to be consistent with your infant/toddler

Social emotional development - adapative social behavior

Ajani is in a store and he is able to sit and play and not run around in the store . He understand that he is not in the park.Young children must learn that behavior differs based on the space that you are in. Having age appropriate toys are very important.

Social emotional development - Learning how to focus

 Finger painting is a wonderful activity infants/toddlers get to develop their fine motor skills,they learn to focus and it is a science activity ,language development and you are doing positive bonding and a number of other skills

Emotional development - the ability to focus

Painting is a great activity for young children it gives them a lot of skills: the ability to focus,the ability to sit, make decisions  it is also  developing fine motor skills  among other things.

Social skills-Diverse settings
