the impact Mar 25 2018 4:18AMEarly childhood is riddled with excitement, laughter, tears, exploration, and conquering new heights. Quite literally in fact as a child learns early on how to crawl, stand on its two feet and wobble around in search of interaction, entertainment, and knowledge. The very fact that children display a tendency to touch, examine and taste (oh the horror) everything they come into contact with means that their developing brains need guidance, knowledge and various creative stimuli that will help them develop their motor skills and cognitive functions early on. Therefore, it becomes of the utmost importance for children to receive proper training and education well before they start school in order to enter the new chapter of their lives as well-rounded, aspiring individuals. Here is how early childhood can positively influence children’s lives. Cognitive development Children form memories from their second year, yet their cognitive abilities and motor skills develop even sooner and will play a pivotal role in their upbringing and greatly shape their future. For this reason, it become all the more important for parents to expose their kids to constant streams of new information, problems and gradually harder challenges to increase their cognitive abilities, nurture their IQ and instigate a natural propensity for learning, achieving and most importantly, developing critical thinking. |
