Climbing-Pysical and learning activity

Small children love to play in the garden.  They also love climbing the trees. Yes, this a good exercise for them.      Gross motor skills should be developed in children.  No doubt, climbing is a suitable exercise for gross motor(big muscles in the hands and legs) development.

Other than that children get chances to learn about their environment by activities like this.  Learning by exploring the environment is their nature.   The practical knowledge, which they get through these sort of activities, will definitely help them in the school learning.

As parents we should give opportunities for our children to play in the nature.  We should allow our children to enjoy the fresh air and sun shine.   At the same time we have the responsibility for their security.   Children should never be unattended.  They always need helping hands wen they are out.

Small children learn by their fingers

children's first week in their kindergarten

Bringing to the kindergarten is not at all easy for many parents.  As children are scared of new things they cry  to go the kindergarten.  I would like to suggest one article, which may help the parents to make the situation easy.  Click here to read the article.

Children learn from outside of the house

By the growth of the technology, now a days  so many electronic toys are available for children.  They are not only expensive.  They are not so good for the children also.

Children used to be sit with them for long time.  They don't get enough exercise when sitting with them.  On the other side if the children are let out side of the house to play they gain so many things.  Look at this boy.  How he is happy with the dog.  He is able to enjoy the fresh air; he gets enough exercises; he gets knowledge about his environment; he develops pro-social behavior by dealing with animals.  Do you accept that here occurs a learning process.  Yes, this boy is learning through his environment.

Now, ask yourself.  Do you let your child outside of the house often.  Do you you feel playing outside of the house is much better than sitting with video games.

Library and It's Benefits

Having library habit is good for children.  This habit helps children to develop many skills in them.

In kindergarten or nursery school play is given more importance.  Picture books are being read by their teacher or parents for them.  But after entering the school, reading is given more importance.  Books are playing a big roll in their life.  So this is the proper time to introduce the local library to them.  In this period they get a talent to handle books.  There are many benefits in library habit.  They are:

1.  They learn to be quite in the library.  They learn how to behave in different situations.

2.  They learn to obey and respect (the library) rules.

3.  They get decision making skills by choosing books.

4.  They get self-esteem, when taking books from law selves with no help.

5.  They learn to handle properties carefully, which are not belong to them.

6.  They get reading skills, habit and knowledge.

7.  They get enough exercise for their legs if they walk to the library.

8.  Their attention is diverted from TV and video games, which are not good for children.

Don't force your children to have library habit.  Just let them visit the library with you.  If they like the library get a membership for them.  if they don't like try it another time.  If you have a library habit definitely your child will follow you.
