* 1 month - 2 Years - At one month Babies enjoy kicking their legs and waving

During my parent interview many of the parents had a different idea of what was stimulating for their child. All the parents, however, realized the importance of stimulating their child during play especially as an infant. The parent’s children ranged from six months to 5 years old (Derryberry, Boster, & Lashae, 2015). This also shows that the parent can have varying opinion based on what their child needs in that particular developmental period. All the parents were extremely concerned with what the child was getting out of play. They also agreed anything educational always was better than what the child in question may want. I think that especially come into play for toddlers, because they are trying to interact with the environment even in stores.

The age of nine months to a year, the infants can do a lot of things without help. They can sit up by themselves. Infants can stand up without the assistance of an adult. They can decide which toys to pick up and they can pick up the objects they would like to entertain themselves with. Infants can also sit unaided as well, they have built enough support for their neck to support their head weight

This toy hits many of Piaget’s sensorimotor stages of development in a child beginning at age 6MO sub-stage 3 which was remarkable to me where one toy could assist with secondary circular reactions, coordination of secondary schemes, tertiary circular reaction and beginning of representational thought (Bee, Boyd, pg. 140). It is very easy to use for both small children and more advanced toddlers. I was impressed with the fact it is not a throw away toy after 6 months it can be used over several years and by multiple family members to assist with growth and development. After watching the video and reading information on this toy I would strongly recommend to parents who have children ranging in age 6MO to

* Be able to provide routines for babies and young children that support their health and development.

All toys and equipment must relevant to the child’s age and stage of development and comply with BSEN benchmarks for safety.

Regardless of how busy things become, it is important for a child to play. The benefits for a child are overwhelmingly positive both physically and mentally. Engage them in structured play as often as unstructured play. Sitting a child in front of the “tv babysitter” may seem convienent but is only hurting your child developmentally. It is important for a child to play whether it is free or unstructured and that they are engaged. Make time for them to play as children being able to play is a primary

It’s comfortable, interesting, attractive and appropriate for the child or children who use it. For some children it becomes like a second home where they eat and sometimes sleep. A suitable environment for a young baby will be very different from a suitable environment for a four or five year old although some features will be the same.  Environments should be attractive and make children feel safe and secure and happy to be there and they should also be places where children can confidently play and learn.

This makes it difficult to choose a suitable bike. The High Bounce Balance Bike solves this problem for you with its adjustable seats. The height of the seat can be adjusted from 11-inches to 16-inches. The adjustable seat height of the bike can adapt to your kids as they grow. With this, you no longer have to worry about buying another balance bike for your them as they grow.

Another benefit of child-led play is that children, while exploring, are being active and developing different motor skills. This physical play is developed by running, jumping, climbing, and anything that gets them moving in order to develop their muscle and body control (Pasquariello). While the children engage in this type of play, they are able to have fun while also maintaining a healthy body physic. With this they are able to maintain an average “height, weight, general appearance…. and

There isn’t a title to the activity as it is an activity to help a baby to sleep. The aim of this activity/ experience is to hopefully help the baby settle quicker when being put down for a nap. I choose to this as it would hopefully settle the child and sooth the baby quicker than usual and this would hopefully make the baby fewer distresses, as the baby would often coo or cry out which would disturb the other babies. By doing this activity/experience it will be meeting the baby’s individual care needs. Plus it is proven that baby’s nervous system grows and intellectual skills are developed. “Cranky baby who may have more difficulty not only sleep but also learning, intellectual, and socializing” Mick and Nick (2011) infant sleep Facts, www.heartswaddle.com

The nursery aims to meet the needs of parents with needs from full day care or just a few sessions a week by providing a high standard of care and education for your children.

At a local babywearing group meeting, I was able to watch a demonstration of most of the baby carrier styles as well as practice with a plastic baby doll.  Two things to note, under supervision from a seasoned babywearing "professional" I was able to conquer my fear of using a wrap and ask the thousands of questions I had about them.  This expanded the options I had for myself when deciding on the best newborn baby

Swing Kids have come a long way over the years. A few decades ago, they hold fewer seats with a crank on one side. Mother put baby cranky on their canvas seats, baby swings and caught wind of them and their babies are swinging. Because there is no way to control the swing baby swing in these early times, many people have babies in the wild

Play is an important part of children’s life that keeps them healthy both physically and mentally. It is a way through which children explore their imagination, build various skills required for their development in different areas. In this essay, importance of play in children’s learning and development is discussed in relation to Piaget’s cognitive theory, Vygotsky socio-cultural theory and Te Whaariki. Moreover, the teacher’s role and strategies used in encouraging the play-based curriculum in early childhood education are also discussed.
