Children's Minds

Product Information

Constructing with a variety of materials develops the children’s fine motor skills, including muscular strength and hand-eye-coordination. Superhero play provides children with an emotional outlet as well as opportunities for playing in a group. To further develop communication and language skills children can share their ideas, direct each other, describe their models and tell their own superhero stories. Scribing the children’s superhero stories supports their future writing skills. The children may want to illustrate these. You can provide story books as suggested, to support the children’s literacy learning. The construction process, whether on a small or large scale, develops children’s use of technological and scientific language (understanding the world). Children can consider which materials work best and why. Other activities

CDC is committed to supporting early brain health through evidence-based programs and partnerships within communities. Below are just a few examples of CDC programs that support early brain health: Brain architecture can be built throughout childhood, adolescence and even into adulthood (Shonkoff et al, 2008). We don’t buy any of our collage materials, everything is ‘found’. Parents bring in bottle tops, old hats and handbags. We go to charity shops too.”Sensitive and responsive adult-child relationships help build children’s cognitive skills and brain architecture. Research shows a clear link between social and emotional development and intellectual growth (Shonkoff, Boyce and McEwen, 2009). We all have mental health, just like we all have physical health. It’s about how we think, feel and act. Sometimes we feel well, and sometimes we don’t. When our mental health is good, we feel motivated and able to take on challenges and new experiences. But when our mental health is not so good, we can find it much harder to cope. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface.

Center on the Developing Child (2013) Innovating in early head start: can reducing toxic stress improve outcomes for young children? [Accessed 16/03/2021]. In our nurseries we see the expressive arts and design part of the curriculum as an opportunity for the children to experience everything in a way that is bigger and messier. We provide a wide range of materials with lots of everything.” Teaching our kids to be happy with themselves – that we are all unique and have different strengths – understanding this about themselves allows them to tap into their strengths when things get tough. We are not looking to create ‘perfect’ individuals, but instead powerful, strong, happy individuals who know themselves and are happy with who they are. Kids coaching is essentially personal development – allowing every child the chance to develop the key life skills to sustain their growth and well-being. It is what I definitely wish I had been taught in school or at an early age as it would have given me a toolkit to cope with life.Engage in playful serve and return interactions: social play is important to the development of executive function skills (Shonkoff et al, 2011).
