Your Child the Creative Genius

Early childhood education is basically defined as children learning through play. It is important that parents begin educating their children from infancy to six yeas of age by developing them physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually, creatively and cognitively. This may sound as though parents need an advanced education in early childhood development but this is far from the truth. Certainly knowledge of this caliber would be a great asset, but children in this age group actually learn through play.

The main thing that parents can do is spend quality time interacting with their children and introduce into their play various things that promote the following crucial developmental areas...

Physical Development: Developing fine and gross motor skills. Basically movement is the key, crawling, walking, running, climbing, throwing, touching and eye-hand coordination.

Social Skills: Teaching children how to interact with others, how to share and co-operate with others, how to build strong relationship that will last as well as social etiquette and good manners.

Emotional Development: Building self-esteem, self-awareness, self-confidence, recognizing and understanding various feelings and emotions and how to use them positively.

Intellectual Development: Develop the ability for children to understand and relate to the world around them as well as to differentiate fantasy from reality.

Creativity: Developing unique and special abilities and talents

Cognitive Skills: Developing the ability to learn and solve problems.

Parents can accomplish these various educational and developmental skills simply by introducing educational toys into their child's play. So parents, keep interacting and develop your child, the creative Genius.
