The Reality of Child Development

Science may well be telling us what our children need before the age of seven years, but

as a parent it is difficult to balance home, work, career, relationships, and bring up a child.

You get home tired, cranky, stressed, even burned out; it is all you can do to just turn on the

TV for you and your child; and just fall asleep; I know I've been there as well.

Like me, you may be working 6 to7 days a week; when do we find quality time for our kids?

What's the answer? Well, there is one, but it requires some effort on our part.

A Plan To Help Your Child Develop

Here's a plan that could help your child increase their self-esteem,

confidence, communication skills, socialization skills and self-control; and

help you feel like you are the best parent in the world.

For 1 hour a day make sure the Television, Telephone, Computer, IPods,

Radio etc are turned off; especially when you come in from work.

Get your child to help you prepare the evening meal.

Sit down and talk about your day, and theirs as well.

Involve your child in household activities.

Read a story to your child.

Do a child development activity from Educational Child's Play.

Ok, I know this plan may take some doing, but I will not leave you out on a limb; Educational

Child's Play has activities that will not only help your child's development, but help you as well.

How Can Educational child's Play Help You As Well As Your Child?

I have been using the activities in Educational Child's Play for over 20 years and I know that

they work. Some of the benefits I have personally had are great self-esteem, I am relaxed and

calm; I can handle difficult and volatile situations, can stay focused and have good thinking

skills; to name but a few.

The activities in Educational Child's Play are easy to do, and above all, fun for you and your

child; a quality parent and child experience.

"In minutes you'll discover techniques which could turn overly active kids into orderly children

ready to learn."

Many years ago I worked for a daycare who had a 3 year old

child who was the terror of the daycare; kids ran in fear as he

chased them with one of the wooden blocks (a 12 inch long 2

by 4), just for disturbing his play.

Teachers had struggled to control this terror of a child since

the age of two years, while his parents were devastated by

the daycare calling daily to have him taken home.

I used one of the easy to do Balance Board activities every

day for 3 months with this child.

One day, someone took a train the child was playing with,

but instead of chasing after the other child he looked at me

and said, "He has taken my train." I said, "Let's go and talk to

him and see if we can get it back!" That is exactly what we

did, and the child got the train back without a fight.

This was a truly amazing experience for both me and the

child, he was starting to learn some social and communication

skills.

Over the next few months the child settled down, started

making friends, and behaviors decreased to the point of a

normal three year old.

As a parent, are you willing to accept a less than average day care program, or a daycare

that sends your child home crying and screaming, plus your child telling you they don’t want to

go back tomorrow?

As a daycare operator, do you want to have a great program that sends children home happy?

A program that has parents falling over themselves to tell their friends about how great their

kids are doing! This is word of mouth advertising; a parent saying that your daycare cares

enough about their child to provide such a program!

Educational Child's Play is that program, a program that cares about you and your child's

early education development.

Not only will you get rave parental reviews, but you can advertise Educational Child's Play as

part of your program; and I supply the advertising in the form of a flyer to do that.

Children With Special Needs

I have worked with children with Autism, FAS, ADD, ADHD, brain injury and other disabilities

and have found they all have one thing in common, they enjoy certain sensory activities; the

trick is to find out which ones, and present them consistently. Consistency is a key factor in

child development.

Some children may be sensitive to sound, while others may not be; some children like a dark

room and are sensitive to light, while others like it bright.

Some keys To Working With Challenged Children


	Never force an activity on anyone; we all have our likes and dislikes

	Consistency and repetition are needed until the child "gets it", then they will move on.

	Be aware of what the child is saying; watch body language, facial expressions; if they
	are non-verbal (cannot talk), they are still communicating.

	Activities should be fun; this above all else.

	Provide activities to feed seven senses which are taste, touch, sight, hearing, smell,
	vestibular (sense of balance) and proprioception (muscle sense and awareness of space).

	Have empathy for the child; in other words, "put yourself in their shoes".

	Give lots of praise and encouragement.

	Provide an activity and then let the child explore on their own.

These statements are generalizations of what has worked for me. If you suspect that your

child has a disability, then seek expert advice.

One day a parent asked me to work with her child who was

having difficulty with his reading, writing, and was generally

struggling in kindergarten with his peers.

Here's what she had to say: " My child is having trouble with

the other children in Kindergarten. He writes backwards and

struggles with reading; I think he has a learning disability, and

I am at a loss to know what to do?"

I talked to the child, who was interested in soccer; he told me

he could not score any goals, so we practised some of the

techniques in Moving To Relax. After a week of practising

Moving To Relax he started scoring more goals.

After a month the child's mom told me he was doing much

better, that his reading and writing had improved and he was

doing well with his peers; he was also the best goal scorer on

his team.

My own personal experience has shown that Moving To

Relax and the Balance Board activities can help children be

successful and make parents happy that their child is

growing and doing well.

What Is Science Saying About Your Child's Development?

Science is saying that children need certain brain input and experiences before the age of

seven years, when approximately 80% of their neural pathways are formed (neural pathways

are what help us to think for ourselves).

Before the age of seven years is indeed the most crucial time for any child's development.

I created Educational Child's Play, to give you, your daycare, or preschool the tools to make

that brain growth a reality; and make you feel great, as a wonderful parent, and teacher of a

successful child.

The Educational Child's Play Preschool Activity Book In A Nutshell

Non-Stimulated Brain

Stimulated Brain

few pathways to enable

thought development

a rich network of pathways

for brain development

80% of the brain's neural pathways are formed before the age of seven. Educational Child's

Play could provide what is needed for that early learning stage of child development.

What Is Happening When You Use Educational Child's Play?

	The activities in Educational Child's Play feed seven senses (yes there are more than 5).

	Scientists say, "Feeding the senses is what is needed to develop a child's brain."

	Sensory activity input is said to develop a child's neural pathways, creating a rich network
	of pathways when it is needed; before the age of seven years.

	Some of the activities in Educational Child's Play are adapted from ancient techniques that
	have been proven to calm, relax and enhance personal well being.

	Science is only now able to prove what is happening in the brain from certain sensory
	input.

What could help your child be happy, successful and have fun?

Moving To Relax

A series of exercises that could help children use both sides of the Brain,

which enables children to be creative and express their ideas.

Gifted children have activities to explore, while slow and less developed

children are helped to come up to their age level.

The Magical World of Sensory Environments

How to set-up the sensory environment, and what you need to get started:

Sensory rooms provide a calm and relaxed environment for children to explore.

Children are excited and content, while teachers are able to relax and enjoy

developing young minds to their full potential.

The Line Dance

patterns of easy movements that follow each other, which could help develop

sequencing skills, body coordination and body balance.

This could result in children being able to read easier, be at ease in the

classroom and eager to accept new learning.

The Balance Board

A piece of equipment for developing learning abilities; various exercises

could help develop better thinking skills, help children focus, calm and relax

active children.

Learning To Feed The Senses

Activities that help feed seven senses; the activities could enhance balance,

hand-eye coordination, the five senses, and give children meaningful daily

activities. This is what science is saying children need to develop their full

potential.

Sensory Push Pull

Activities related to the sense provided from joint and muscle sensory

input. This sense is important to help children's awareness of where

they are in space, being relaxed and at ease in their environment. This could

be a major key area to help reduce children's behaviors in the school setting.

Swing For Fun

Use the swing to have fun and introduce vestibular and proprioceptive

sensory input. Vestibular sensory input helps children with their sense of

balance; it may help with ease of accepting new learning and information.

I have personally observed reduced behaviors because of this activity.

Funday Activities

A book of A – Z activities to provide a meaningful day, and exploration of the

environment. Children have hundreds of activities to explore, while teachers

have an enormous amount of planned activities to keep any child occupied

and enjoying their new found knowledge.

Sensory Activity Carts

Mobile carts with activities to feed the 5 senses of taste, smell, hearing,

touch and sight. These carts are mobile activity centers that promote free

choice making by children, and let a child explore the sensory world around

them; an amazing tool for child development and teacher/child participation.

Storybooks That Teach

Stories with a purpose, these storybooks meet the requirements that are

just recently being proven by science to be what is needed for child

development.

(Part of the lesson plan, but not included in the Educational Child's Play Activity Book)

Take a Daily Vacation

A series of relaxing slideshow videos projected onto a wall, or played on a

Television. Some of the titles are Space, The Four Seasons, Food, Sunsets,

Nature and more. The series could be used to educate, enhance memory,

feed the senses and gives a welcome change to children watching TV.

(Part of the lesson plan, but not included in the Educational Child's Play Activity Book)

All activities listed are part of Educational Child's Play; unless otherwise stated.

Gordy Visits The Mountains" has been extremely

beneficial to my daughter's development.

Being born with no binocular vision had a large impact on her

gross motor development.

My daughter loves to practise all the time with the gross motor

equipment in this fun story setting.

Now, six months later, her gross motor skills are right at

age level and she's always excited to have the chance to

practise her new-found skills.
