Toy Stimulates The Child With A Great Deal Of Muscle Tone Development

Did you know that LEGOs can boost young children’s engineering skills (MIT School of Engineering)? It’s true! Studies show that LEGOs can prove important for developing skills used later in life. From pink, to blue, to long or thick, LEGOs are building blocks that come in all colors, shapes and sizes. With dots on the top, and holes on the bottom, LEGOs are designed to interlock enable to form structures. LEGOs help many young children develop skills such as early engineering, fine motor skills, an creativity.

In summary, young children learn many skills while they play and interact with the others. Therefore, it is important to create activities that enhance the child’s development, such as social skills, speaking skills, motor skills, cognitive skills, and emotional competence. Draco who is preschooler, he demonstrates learned skills and learns new skills while he play with friends and interact with the teachers. Draco’s social skills is thriving because he enjoys and engage in the group activity, the dramatic play. Draco’s speaking skills is at the Early Production stage because he responses in short-phrases and have a simple conversation. Draco has a good coordination of large motor skills and small motor skills because he demonstrates that

Spencer Rathus details the developments children undergo both physically and cognitively throughout their childhood in his book, CDEV 2010-2011 Edition. I completed my observation at Clovis Community College's Child Development Center on February 2, 2016. The young boy I observed was three years old. I observed him both inside the class room as well as out in the play ground area. The boy spent most of the time playing on the tricycle, as well as on the play structure. Rathus writes, "By age 4 or 5, they can skip and pedal a tricycle"(2011). Since the boy was only three, I was surprised that he had the physical ability to keep control over the tricycle and stay on the path outlining the play ground area.

After discussing the plan with the teacher, she agreed on working with me for the plan to be successful. The child strength is that he easily understands context and follow directions very well. Derrick can read books and understand what he have read however, he have a difficult time reading aloud during reading time. One strategy I implement to the teacher is let him pick a book he likes and ask to share it with the class. Ask him question after question about the story; also ask him to show pictures from the book. Encourage him to keep reading by following along and showing interest, limited how many times the teacher correct him. Strategies for increasing his vocabulary let the student use the computer to play words game and different

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

Physical activity encourages children and young people to develop all their physical skills and to practice the skills that they already have. Your role in supporting a child’s physical development will be to ensure that the child has a wide variety of experiences of being in a safe environment. Any setting should offer a wide range of equipment that can be used both indoors and out. It is considered important that children are given opportunities to develop their gross motor skills indoors as well as outdoors. Such opportunities may be provided by designated areas such as soft play area or by activities such as drama.

1.1 Explain why physical activity is important to the short and long term health and well being of children.

Whilst playing the children will begin to learn skills such as balance and coordination, throwing, catching, running skipping and jumping however none of these skills can be learnt if the child does not learn the movement skills. They need to learn hand-eye coordination this is when the brain will learn to make the hands and eyes work together resulting in the children being able to play catch, foot-eye coordination this starts when babies begin to learn to walk up the stairs but can then be extended when the child learns to kick a ball, balance this is learnt over time depending on the age of the child, when the child begins to learn these skills through physical activity their central nervous system will also begin to develop which will in turn help their muscles, glands and organs. This is applied into my practice by taking the children in to thee garden. When in the garden I make obstacle courses for the children with crates that range it heights and sizes, tyres and the slide. It can very day to day to teach the children different things. But by using the different height crates it allows the children to learn to balance by themselves, the slide allows the children to climb. We also have balls that the children play with but depending on the age of the child would depend on how it is used. If the child is 18 months or younger then I would

All indoor and outdoor toys will encourage children to learn to develop social skills, physical skills, intellect and emotion. All of these aim to extend culture awareness and self-esteem.

The Laugh and Learn™ Learning Basketball is a developmental toy designed by Fisher-Price. Essentially the toy is a basketball hoop as well as corresponding stand that will adjust as the child grows, and is recommended by the website for ages six to thirty-six months. Additionally, the basketball hoop has the numbers one through five on it, as well as automated hands and a face which smiles as it plays one of twelve possible songs. The basketball toy is made out of a hard plastic and it includes every color of the basic rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, purple and blue) The toy is also equipped with two smaller basketballs (which are not as rigid as their life-sized counterparts) which the child can put through the hoop

These toys encourage the mind to be creative and imaginative, and use the toy in more ways than simple rolling the car across the carpet. Perhaps the child will imagine the car is in a race, and will whip and weave it around furniture, jump over the family dog, and come sliding in to first place over the threshold of the door. Dynamic toys encourage elaborate thought and thus enhance brain development.

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

So many children this day in age, are sat in front of a television or a tablet and expected to keep quiet. Children are built to explore, move, and learn from their experiences, and this cannot happen when a child is inside, being distracted by technology. No matter how busy parents are, they should find at least thirty minutes a day to go outside and play with their children. If the weather does not permit outside play, then playing games inside is always a great alternative. Parents should be encouraging their children to develop the motor skills that they are going to need in order to succeed in school and later in life. Many parents encourage the development of their children’s gross motor skills by involving them in sports, dance, or gymnastics. These programs are great for not only teaching children how to be good at something they love, but they also encourage children to develop their motor skills. If parents find that they cannot afford programs such as these, they can focus on providing multiple opportunities for play. For example, one day they could go to the park or they could go over the neighbor’s house to play. Ultimately, the best thing that parents can do to encourage the development of their children’s motor skills is to allow them to play as much as possible and to allow them to try new activities, even if they are

As children’s bodies become more streamlined and less top-heavy, their center of gravity shifts downwards toward the trunk. As a result, balance improves greatly, paving the way for new motor skills involving large muscles of the body. (Berk, 1999) During the preschool years until approximately age seven, fundamental motor skills develop including the locomotor skills needed to run, jump, hop, and skip. Also the object control skills such as throwing, catching, and kicking are developing. By the age of six or seven, children begin to integrate two or more of these skills. Though all children will not develop these skills at the same age, they will follow the same sequence.

“ CBS News suggest that parents choose toys for their toddlers and preschoolers that teach skills because a young child’s brain will grab hold of these permanent marks and carry through with them all the way to adulthood.” (Halter) These playthings not only teach skills, but confidence, because they learn to enjoy accomplishing any task they face. Many say educational toys are the best way to go because it stimulate tools a child will use throughout their schooling.
