Have you ever wondered why toys for babies tend to so many bells, whistles and lights? Or why are so many different textures and colors and materials?
It 's almost as if we have children with a whole world of stimulation, and we can not really know they want it fast enough.
Play gyms or activity gyms as they tend to sometimes known as a favorite with children from infants to 12 months. These nests of game and activity gyms are usually
inForm of comfortable, quilted or padded mat to play, sometimes the edges with a square at the center for the child (like a donut) is raised.
And these play gyms can be colored or in soft pastels.
But do not be fooled by the thought just cozy and comfortable resting places for children to sleep!
This activity gyms offer a wealth of visual, auditory and tactile stimulation for fast developing young inquisitive minds.
Often decoratedwith known and lovable characters, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eyore or livestock and zoo animals, and can be detached, the parts are hung for small children to try to understand. Pieces tend to have curly, soft, scrunchy textures for touching the child to squeeze and stroke. Some are equipped with lights and bells and others make funny noises or sounds, and some even do both.
They are often mounted mirror for this activity gyms, so that your childfind and get to see his own reflection, often for hours of fun for both children and carers to offer. All this is extremely important for the development of young minds.
Children are like sponges, they are ready, all the information that can absorb - and boys - can not understand fast enough!
A lot of new research points to the first three years of life as a critical brain child development. It 'a known fact that tripled during this period not only the brain
weightalso established thousands of billions of nerve connections. Surprisingly, the age of three, has a small child, twice as many nerve connections as many adults. Therefore, in your role as a parent or primary caregiver is of utmost importance that we recognize and understand what happens in the brain development of young children from birth to age three.
At birth, children have most of the neurons (brain cells) that aspire to a lifeHowever, these brain cells are not yet linked (or "wired") together, the complex networks that are needed for mature thought processes to be held to form. And what happens is that within the first year, the young child's brain cells, these connections, or synapses, as they are commonly called, very, very quickly.
One of the key ingredients to make these connections is to help, experience and repetition.
In a word, the more times you repeat something new, like showing aChild, like a ball spins, the quicker these connections are formed. And 'only natural that the more positive interaction will give a newborn baby or young, the more you are helping to stimulate the brain young.
This stimulation causes new connections to form neural pathways and strengthens existing ones.
Playing with activity gyms, with all the bells and whistles they offer, or read to a child, everything possible to have a child, positive, interactiveProcesses that aid the development of the child's brain.
So, while you sit and watch her baby with love laughing and gurgling on the carpet in the gym or play activities - do not underestimate the power of the changes taking place in the brain, all enriching an inquisitive mind and arming with an abundance of knowledge and understanding in the coming years.
