Becoming a parent is one of the greatest things we can do and there are endless rewards to be had when bringing up the baby. Yes, at times there can be frustration but everything considered it is a truly amazing experience.
The early years of your baby’s life are extremely important in terms of learning and development. Being a part of the mental development can be a great time for you to instil a foundation to your child’s knowledge and help make it easier to understand and build on that knowledge. Not only does this benefit your child’s abilities and give a great start in life but it allows you to really connect with your child.
Connecting with your child early on will make for a better relationship further down the line and will give your child stability in their life. There is nothing more powerful than the bond between parent and child and it is further enhanced being involved in the early years of learning.
Helping you child using early learning will give them an advantage with adjusting to the world and to help gain their trust in you. In order for the child to be able to develop properly and be able to socialize with others, they need to feel that they are loved and cared for and have the attention they need.
The early learning will help you bond with your child and this positive foundation will stay with the child until later life. The child will begin to discover family life and what it is all about giving a sense of security. This beneficial time you invest in the child will bring rewards when the child begins to grow.
Once you have decided that early learning is the path you are going to take, you must be sure to be consistent and actually enjoy the process. Children can pick up when adults are just going through the motions as opposed to actively taking part. If the child feels you are not really involved the purpose will be defeated.
The attention of the child must be kept but not to the point of exhaustion. Smaller sessions of quality learning is much better than long drawn out sessions where not much is accomplished. It is also important not to put the child off for next time so the sessions should be short and fun with interesting subject matter.
Pay attention to your child’s responses. Try not to move too fast before they are ready and not too slow with the chance of boredom. This may seem like a difficult feat, but you will get to know at what pace your child works and what is meant by certain responses.
Unfortunately, however, there is no set method. You child may be eager to learn one day but not the next. If your child is not in the mood for the exercises, try not to push them or it may be more difficult to get their attention the next time round. Your child will remember how they felt in the last lesson and if there were negative feelings, they may be less like to enjoy the next lesson.
Signs such as yawning, attention loss and falling asleep are sure signs that the lesson ought to be over or that a particular activity isn’t doing it’s job.
These early learning lessons will give your child a fantastic start in life and will positively impact on their achievements later on as well as strengthening the bond between you. Knowing that you have given your child a great start is satisfying for the parent and you will know what to do for the next one!
