{Nurture|Support} and Teach

The single {most important|essential|crucial} thing {caregivers|caretakers} can do for {a child|a kid} is {provide|offer|supply} a nurturing environment. By doing this, we {influence|affect} {children|kids}'s brain {development|advancement} and their {ability|capability} to {learn|discover|find out}. {Introducing|Presenting} {nurtured|supported} {children|kids} to {learning|discovering|finding out} {opportunities|chances} every day will {help|assist} them {become|end up being} {happy|pleased|delighted}, well-adjusted {adults|grownups}. In all {stages|phases} of {child|kid} {development|advancement}, each experience {builds|develops|constructs} on the one {before|prior to} it. The most {basic|fundamental|standard} {foundations|structures} can {serve as|function as|work as|act as} the basis for the {comprehension|understanding} of more complex {ideas|concepts} in future years.

{Learning|Knowing} {Begins|Starts} at Birth

We are born with billions of brain cells - in {fact|truth|reality}, all we will ever have. What is {missing|missing out on} is {a large|a big} {amount|quantity} of connections - synapses - {between|in between} those brain cells. Synapses {start|begin} {developing|establishing} {based on|based upon} {a child|a kid}'s experiences. {Children|Kid}'s brains {develop|establish} {faster|quicker|much faster} from birth to age {three|3} than any other time; and more {learning|knowing} {takes place|occurs|happens} {during|throughout} this time than any other. The more {learning|knowing} {opportunities|chances} {parents|moms and dads} {provide for|offer|attend to} their {children|kids} from birth {until|up until|till} school age, the more synapses are made. The connections will {serve as|function as|work as|act as} {a pool|a swimming pool} of {knowledge|understanding} for {a child|a kid} to {access|gain access to} in later years.

{Because|Since|Due to the fact that} {children|kids}'s earliest experiences {affect|impact} how they will {think|believe}, {learn|discover|find out} and {behave|act}, {helping|assisting} {children|kids} {learn from|gain from} birth to school age is {a crucial|an essential|an important|a vital} activity. {Parents|Moms and dads} and other {caregivers|caretakers} can {create|produce|develop} a strong {foundation|structure} for {learning|discovering|finding out} by {providing|offering|supplying} a nurturing and {rich|abundant} {learning|knowing} environment from the {very beginning|very start}.

{Children|Kids} {Seek|Look For} {Learning|Knowing} Experiences

Not {only|just} do {children|kids} {need|require} to be physically active, it is their nature to {look for|search for|try to find} {opportunities|chances} to {learn|discover|find out}. They {participate in|take part in} {learning|discovering|finding out} {by using|by utilizing} their senses and asking {countless|numerous|many} {questions|concerns} in order to more {fully|completely|totally} {understand|comprehend} the {task|job} at hand.

{Creating|Producing|Developing} {a Learning|a Knowing} Environment

{Children|Kids} {enjoy|delight in|take pleasure in} {learning|discovering|finding out} when they can master an activity. {Begin|Start} with {a simple|an easy|a basic} {task|job} and {expand|broaden} or complicate it after your {child|kid} {has|has actually} {enjoyed|delighted in|taken pleasure in} some successes.

{Create|Produce|Develop} a safe and {secure|protected|safe|safe and secure} {learning|knowing} environment. This will {help|assist} {children|kids} do their {best|finest} {learning|knowing} {rather than|instead of} {distract|sidetrack} them. {Key|Secret} to {creating|producing|developing} this environment is treating your {child|kid} with {respect|regard} and caring.

Where Do {Children|Kid} Learn?

{Children|Kids} {learn|discover|find out} {everywhere|all over} from school to the {doctor|physician|medical professional}'s {office|workplace} to the {grocery store|supermarket}. As do {adults|grownups}, {children|kids} {learn from|gain from} {interacting|communicating|engaging|connecting} with others and {watching|viewing|enjoying|seeing} their {parents|moms and dads}' {behavior|habits}. Kids are {highly|extremely} {influenced|affected} by the {people|individuals} in their lives, {especially|particularly|specifically} {adults|grownups} who they are close to.

Not All {Children|Kid} Learn in the {Same|Exact Same|Very Same} {Way|Method}

In the book {Frame of Mind|State of mind|Mindset}, Howard Gardner {described|explained} his theory of {multiple|several|numerous} intelligences. {We all|All of us} have {a certain|a specific|a particular} {way|method} we {prefer|choose} to {learn|discover|find out}. The {seven|7} {multiple|several|numerous} intelligences Gardner {points to|indicates} are {interpersonal|social}, intrapersonal, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, musical, logical-mathematical and linguistic. We have the most success {teaching|mentor} our {children|kids} when we can {recognize|acknowledge} their {style|design} of {learning|knowing} ({as well as|in addition to|along with} our {style|design} of {teaching|mentor}) and {incorporate|integrate|include} activities {accordingly|appropriately}.

Playing and {Learning|Knowing}

The {main|primary} {way|method} {children|kids} {collect|gather} and process {information|info|details} is through play. Play is the {repetition|repeating} that {reinforces|strengthens|enhances} old {skills|abilities} and {encourages|motivates} {new|brand-new} ones. {Because|Since|Due to the fact that} play is {enjoyable|pleasurable|satisfying}, {children|kids}'s minds are open. {Children|Kids} {are capable of|can} much {learning|knowing} through play {because|since|due to the fact that} they are {very|extremely|really} {receptive|responsive} and {relaxed|unwinded}. {Take advantage of|Benefit from|Make the most of} this {benefit|advantage} and {select|choose} activities that are {fun|enjoyable} and {educational|academic|instructional}. Your {children|kids} will {learn|discover|find out}, and you will both {enjoy|delight in|take pleasure in} the experience.
