Psychic development of your child


The child begins to learn even before birth. That the child fully developed their potential need his love, security and attention. 
Recent studies show that prior to birth a child reacts to certain stimuli (beats listening to her mother's heart, recognized her voice, can make out the light). From birth to six years of life a child develops the most intense, both physically and emotionally and mentally.

The child is required to meet the requirements for physical development. It is also necessary to ensure the conditions for psychological development. Among the conditions of mental development are the most important parental love, security within the wider family and community care and other people important to the child.

The human voice, the character of the first child's attention and facilities are essential for the child's psychosocial development. Social interaction with the environment is the most important source of the child's experiences since the earliest times.

Parents are best placed to monitor the child's development. They need to recognize the warning signs that indicate a slower progression of the child.

Each child is unique and progresses at their own pace. Some children are progressing more slowly than others, but that in itself is no cause for concern. By observing how the child responds to touch, auditory and visual stimuli can be seen signs of disability. If a child does not respond to stimuli, it is necessary to seek expert opinion.

Early identification of disability is crucial for the further development of the child and reach their full potential.He needs help and support as soon as possible. Children with disabilities need extra attention and love, and protection against injury and violence. Also it should be encouraged to play with other children.

The family is a fundamental and vital place to protect children in developing and growing up, a community task is to make this possible. The child's parents and family should be encouraged for the greater interaction with the child (eg, talk and talk and dj etetu before he spoke only in our later ages to answer his questions and guide it to him emu interesting sixth month).

Parents are the best judges of when to decide to help the child, and when it should be left with him egov solutions?. Parents need to understand the child's emotions. If his emotions ridiculed or punished, they will grow up shy, withdrawn and unable to express normal emotions. If parents are careful and patient to the child, the child will grow up happy and mentally balanced.

The father and mother are important for the child's proper development. In addition to support and assist the mother after giving birth in the household, the father should be involved in the care of the child. In the game with the child's father helps in learning, acquiring new skills and emotional development of children. Father and mother giving the child a basis for understanding the family and society as a whole.

Children should be taught how to behave and express themselves by imitating their loved ones.

To form the child's behavior and personality are much more useful than adults are good examples of commands and words. If adults express their anger by shouting, aggression and violence, the child will learn the proper way to express anger. Conversely, if the adults treat children with care, understanding and patience, your child will follow suit in their behavior. In early childhood the child is naturally oriented themselves. Gradually learn to respect other people. Because of the emotional immaturity of children sometimes behave selfishly and adults understand. Socially acceptable behavior, children learn as they grow, learn to treat others, on the way to treat them.

Patience, understanding and empathy with the child will help him to grow up happy and balanced.

The physical closeness with their mothers after birth and in early life is very important for the child's psychological development. This contact is particularly exercised by breastfeeding. A child growing up in a further significant tenderness in the form of hugs, kisses, you will need to give your child a sense of security.

For proper psychosocial development of children is an important safety and support. For the safety of children is an important growth with the support of adults, with well-established and familiar layout and organized activities. Children who do not have a complete family or a family living in poor conditions and lack of support, need help, protection and / or monitoring of other adults who support them (this can be a social worker, a psychologist at the counseling center, the volunteers of various humanitarian organizations).

If children are not provided the proper conditions for the psychosocial development of the family, they need the help of the community and experts. It is important for understanding the child's emotions. Thus, for example.cry the way a young child expresses that something is wrong. Perhaps it is hungry, tired, it hurts a little, it is too hot or is cold, frightened and so on. Crying should not be ignored.

Growing up in children can occur fears (fear of darkness, animals). Children quickly outgrow their fears if they have confidence in the fact that their home is safe, that they are protected and that their parents and other close adults love. It is necessary to realistically explain the unknown child and frightening occurrence, and not intimidate a child in the educational purposes (eg, going to the doctor intimidate, frighten animals, etc.).

The game is very important for child development. When playing, the child develops mentally, physically and mentally.

Children play because it's fun. But the game is important for the child's mental and physical development.Playing simple objects and imitating the world of adult children begin to learn about the world in which they are located. The game helps develop skills of speaking and thinking. Children often learn trial and error, comparing the results obtained, questioning and finding ways to succeed in their ventures. The game expands children's horizons and help them acquire new knowledge and experience. Adults in the child's environment can help them with their participation in the game. But that should not dominate or impose too much control of children's play.The child should assist in achieving what he wants, but adults can not seem to place the child because the child in this case, lose the opportunity to learn something that can only be done, as it is important for later life.

In a game with children requires patience. As long as a child at play is not in danger to life and health, he should be allowed to independently create games and problem solving, and even that does not work every time.Sometimes failure helps in learning and acquiring new skills. Children like to dress up and pretend to be someone else (mother, father, teacher, doctor, etc.). It helps children understand and accept the ways in which other people behave. Children sometimes need a game alone, but most still need to spend time with other children and adults.
