From the day they
were born, our children require emotional care and physical
affection in a nurturing and
soothing environment.
Every single experience is a
totally new one for these
bundles of joy. Their world is
filled with seeing, hearing
and feeling, which stimulates
their senses to help them grow
and develop. Your response to
their constant cries for
attention provides emotional
nourishment, which also
creates a warm and secure
environment for these tiny
tots.
Your
child’s development rate can
be bafflingly tremendous
outburst or painfully slow at
times. While there are
milestones for measure as
yardsticks, one can rely on
instincts to observe whether
all is well or there are
significant delays. Remember,
these are only for guidance
purposes and not some target
to be achieved or agonized
over. Learn to appreciate
these variations, which is an
exciting and memorable journey
for both you and your child.
As
your child advances on to
their preschool age, involving
play with other kids unlock
their social skills that will
be an important lifetime tool.
It also provides the vital
building block for lifelong
self-esteem. Being in a
playschool or playgroup
enhances their social and
personal growth with the
interactions made. Encouraging
play leads to a healthy dose
of creativity, coordination
and cooperation.
Reading
with your child opens up
amazing new worlds and
adventures. Books help to
create bonds as stories are
being shared between parent
and child. It is useful for
improving speech, imagination
and even counting skills! What
more it’s a delight to see
the shine in their eyes when
tales of the mystical and
magical are being recounted to
keep them caught up in the
wonder of it all!
At
this age, children will
develop a sense of
independence so it is
imperative to give them the
space they need. With lots of
room to do their own thing,
they can maximize their
creativity development streak.
Just step back a little yet be
on hand to help, comment and
join in when you are welcomed
to!
Here
at Carpe Diem, your child’s
progressive development is our
pride and utmost concern. It's
our love for all children that
has ensured our tireless
commitment to providing them
with the best possible start.
