Recommended: Child growth and development

Through play, infants and children discover, learn, and practice physical, mental, social, and language skills that they continue to build on throughout the course of their lives. By providing them with developmentally appropriate toys, parents can aid in stimulating the child’s development. NogginStik is a toy designed specifically for infants that stimulates their cognitive development, first by triggering their novelty response. With its appropriate size, this toy encourages an infant to work on grasping objects while inspiring the adaptation of their schemes. If the baby already has a scheme developed about rattles, it tests their memory recognition skills whether they remember to shake it or not. Once the baby learns the rattle can be

    In Hands-on Squishy Circuits, AnnMarie Thomas showed us how she took a home-made PLAY-DOH recipe and turned it into a science experiment. It’s amazing that three and four year old children play with something so revolutionary. We may not realize this now, but if we start introducing this stuff to these children, they’re going to become such intelligent adults. I ask myself this question everyday,”Do I want my child to be successful in life, or let them flip burgers at McDonalds?”. I want my child to be able to learn and succeed as they progress in life. This is extremely important for children these

  • National Quality Standards: Enhancing Children's Learning and Development

    Children can greatly benefit from having chances to create connections to the real world in their play space, waiting for the fruit on the fruit trees to ripen or continuously checking to see if their seeds have sprouted all provide both connections to the real world ,as well as expanding developmental skills and knowledge. An ideal learning environment for children does not necessarily need to cost a lot of money to establish and maintain, using items found out the natural environment can often spark creativity and connections with children. Children don't need to always be surrounded by the newest and fanciest plastic toys, natural ideas such as wood blocks can but used instead of lego pieces or rocks for painting on, items such as those can be cheap easily found and yet still provide children with the same if not more developmental skills and learning. From young age children need to be presented with opportunities to take safe risks in order for them to grow and

  • Effects Of Gender Toys

    Through her findings, she points out that there are many cognitive benefits to playing with toys (for instance, playing with blocks develops spatial reasoning and creativity skills). Her coding differed from the other research about the topic, focusing on sociability, competition, aggressiveness, manipulability, nurturance and attractiveness (Miller, 1987). I find that this very specific word choice better reflects the experience and teachings that come from toys, though I think it would have been better executed if the words were more clearly defined. The focus on social-play and manipulability adds something new to the discussion on the effects of play, particularly gendered-play, as toys that rank high in that category directly teach children how they should act when in social settings and how much of the world they can have an effect

    841 Words  | 2 Pages

    An Article by Dr. Leong and Dr. Bodrova (2016) stated that play is beneficial to children’s learning especially when it reaches a certain degree of complexity. When they engage in play activities most of their early years, they learn to delay gratification and to prioritize their goals and actions. They also learn to consider the perspectives and needs of other people and to represent things significantly to regulate their behavior and actions in a cautious, intentional way.

    Dialogue & Reflection: Infants were engaged in functional play as they listen to the sound of the lid when it hits the bottom (Lew, 2012). Infants were also engaged in solitary play as they play with the toys uninvolved with other infants (Lew, 2012). It seems that children were interested in opening boxes and see what is inside it. It appears that children demonstrated their fine motor skills and eye- hand coordination when they opened the boxes and tried closing it. Infants are already experiencing math in their daily lives. They practice this as they associate touch, smell and voice with their parents and educators (Lockwood, 2013). Infants learn mathematical connections through learning experiences. In my Curriculum Design class, I learned that by playing with a box, children can learn object permanence when we hide a toy inside it (Lockwood, 2013). Children will be aware of their spatial sense as they hold onto the container or the chocolate tin and notice its shape (Lockwood, 2013). According to Berk (2012), as infants learn how to move on their own their opportunities ...

  • Social Intervention Approach Essay

    It appears that Michael Gramling thinks that there are pros and cons where play is concerned in the classroom. Gramling points out that although there are a lot of toys on the shelves does not necessarily mean they will be used by a child to play with it.- Instead, children hear “I need you to line up, clean up, sit down, lie down, come here, put that away, stop doing that, go there, pick that up.” (Gramling, M., 2015). So that when it is time to play with the toys, disagreement and chaos happens among the children. Oh, and he also points out there is a time limit to play with a toy. Quite frankly, I think that Froebel and Owen would be appalled by Gramling's outlook on play in a program today, because Froebel and Owen both believed play was the central idea of a child's beginning learning

  • The Effect of Toys on a Person's Psychological Development

    You probably remember your favorite game from early childhood—many people do. The game most likely involved your favorite toy, perhaps a truck, or a doll. In fact, when you think about memories from your childhood, toys should be among the first things to come to mind to evoke a strong image of early childhood. Toys have been greatly underestimated by their possessors and especially by adults, dismissed as the "supporting role" in indoor or outdoor pastimes, which they literally are. However, toys affect a person's psychological development to a higher degree than we may realize.

  • Shape Sorting Toys Essay

    2170 Words  | 5 Pages

    Children love toys. That is not new news. Some toys are for mere pleasure while others have learning content. Classic toys known as shape sorting toys offer not only entertainment for young minds but also help contribute to a child’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Shape sorters are a favorite among young children and infants. This is because they are challenging to the child, yet still fun. By figuring out how to drop each piece into its proper hole, kids learn to categorize and eventually name shapes (a skill they master around age two). Between fifteen and eighteen months, most kids will start to develop the hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills they need to be able to sort. Shape sorting toys are great aide to the development of a young child and many developmental theories can be applied to support the fact. (“Benefits Of Shape Sorter Toys”)

    have determined that there is a need for play within the early childhood curriculum, however the relationship between play and curriculum remain open (CCEECD, 2018). One of the main contradictions between play and curriculum stem from the use of the word “play”, while it is commonly used in the everyday language by parents of young children, it is also used for professional literature used by teachers (CCEECD, 2018). One way to help overcome this dilemma would be to use the label “play-based” when referring to adult initiated play which in turn would separate it from child initiated play (CCEECD, 2018). In the past, play was described and seen as spontaneous child-initiated activity, as of today it now can be described or seen as a tool to
