Your Child is Unique

No matter what environment or experiences that parents provide for their children, there remains a constant variable in the life of every child. Children are unique and the way they relate to the world around them reflects their individualism. Although parents desire to see their children become productive and successful, not one parent can predict the type of adult their child will become. However, it is still critical for parents to provide numerous, positive and loving experiences for their children.

Children are more dependent upon parents and or caregivers for a longer period of time than another species on earth. Every species on earth within the first year of life becomes independent and no longer turns to another of its species for nurturing. However, children are quite dependent and look to parents and or caregivers for assistance, reassurance and help for many years. They need to experience security and have trust built in their lives beginning at infancy. They need to have a sense that they are loved, protected and provided for. It is within this type of relationship that their development flourishes.

So parents keep this thought in mind, early intervention in your child’s educational and developmental growth provides the stimulation their brain needs now for future productivity and success. There is great power released for brain development through positive daily interaction with your child. Provide them with vigorous physical activities as well as social and emotional contact. Create opportunities that will challenge their imaginations and cause their creative juices to flow. Introducing educational toys into your child's daily play provides and avenue for positive growth and development. Although you may not be able to predict how your child will turn out, your early intervention can open the door to endless opportunities for your child.
