Game stimulates learning in children

Most babies are born with a potential cerebral unlimited, but to obtain the maximum development is necessary stimulation , and what better way to do it than through the game.

The specialists point out that the game , with the passage of time, it becomes an inseparable companion that not only serves as a distracting element, but also as a great ally for its learning .

The presence of toys In the life of a child, it is so transcendental that even before it is born, the parents are concerned with acquiring them among the essential accessories, which has led to the market being saturated with a great variety, some of them very useful to boost the development of children.

Although your child will continue his learning throughout his life, will be the first years in which to do it is easier, have you heard the educators say that when children are very small, your brain is like a sponge?

That is a reality, indeed, they are capable of absorbing all the knowledge that you put at your disposal; In addition to being more willing to absorb things, the way in which they are taught is charged with affection and is based mainly on the game and elements that are fun and stimulating for him.

Jean Piaget, the famous Swiss psychologist , who made important contributions to the education and development of infants, said that from birth to two years, play is a repetition of the research activities that children use to explore the world with the senses: grasp, smell, taste, they watch and listen again and again until they have processed each piece of information.

When they can control a new object or process, they begin their next exploration, precisely because they have enjoyed the experience of exploring and dominating.

As it explains Martie Pieterse , author of the book Play and learn: "The game is a natural instrument that your child uses to explore and discover - and over time dominate - the world around him.For this reason it has a fundamental importance in the development of their skills at all levels: thinking and memory, linguistic competence, mobility, hand-eye and foot-eye coordination, as well as social and emotional maturity. "

But the game is also a way of expressing yourself and that you can confirm with your child, when through it he lets you know the way he sees and experiences his world. For example, when your daughter plays with a doll and pretends to be her mother, it will reflect the way you behave with her and how you make her feel, which for you may be an opportunity to detect if you are making a mistake in the way you get to her.

 

Allies of childhood

Throughout the growth of your baby you will find different tools that will be of great help for your training, "in the case of toys , especially in the case of education, they become a useful support for the development of children's motor and cognitive abilities. It is striking to see how through this activity, which in theory aims to entertain them, many capacities are awakened, for example: children intuitively begin to classify their toys, separate small cars from larger ones, without knowing that, more forward, it will help them to learn mathematics ", explains the graduate Andrea Calderón , specialist in Special education .

The game of your child will change as he develops and awakens new skills, hence it is important that you keep an eye on this point so that you include more and more activities and objects to play.

During the first months of birth, the best toy It will be you, because he has learned to recognize your voice, your look and you are the person closest to him. As the child grows and his world expands, that is, having the opportunity to meet other people, to see objects and take them into his hands, he will begin to be interested in them.

Keep in mind that the fact that you join your game , actively participate with him and share daily time with him, not only help to stimulate their knowledge from an early age, you will also help strengthen your self esteem and you will make him feel loved.
