Children
grow at different pace! Developmental milestones
offer guidelines that help parents to better understand their child's
development, and to determine which toys and games are appropriate
for their developmental stage. With a good
understanding of how children develop, you and your child can have
fun while they develop their full potential.
Some
areas of development that may be of concern for parents include;
Speech
and language:
 |
Speech
and language are important to a child's emotional and cognitive
development. Speech allows children to communicate and express their
thoughts and feelings, learn about people, places and other things
they find interesting. Speech and language facilitate conversations,
that is important for children to later develop vocabulary and
reading skills.
By
introducing children to educational interactive toys in the early
stages of their development, children develop an awareness of the
different sounds letters make and vocabulary.
Children
also develop non-verbal skills through play. By introducing children
to developmental toys, you provide numerous opportunities for
pretend play that includes; building block structures and sorting.
Pretend play lets children experience the world around them in a fun,
safe way. Nonverbal language lets children use different parts of
their body and gestures to communicate their thoughts and feelings.
Social
skills development
Learning
and developing healthy social relationships is very important to
children in the early stages of development. Children in the early
stages of their development look at their parents and caregivers
facial expressions and their emotions to gain an understanding of the
world around them. As a result, children learn to sense when you are
happy or sad, and when some is friendly or unfriendly,
It
is through watching and listening that children learn the rules of
social engagement, speech and language and other basic life skills.
Children
who play with social development toys, learn social skills in the
safety and comfort of their home in a fun way.
Motor
skills development
If you want your child to
develop a skill, turn the learning experience into a fun filled
activity! Children learn through play. It is through play that
children develop important gross motor and fine motor skills. The
more opportunities children have to play, run around, crawl around,
jump, color, write, explore and engage in other purposeful physical
activities, the better they will develop their minds and bodies,
becoming stronger physically and mentally.
