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 .

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.
