Stimulating Child Development
Author: Rebecca Walker  | Posted: 24-07-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 31 | Rating: (65)  (?) 
The development of your child is a complex and involved process, spanning a number of different physical and mental elements. Encouraging the mental development of your child, in terms of sociality, intellect and emotion is crucial in raising a well-rounded child to progress to adulthood, although it can often be quite difficult to think of creative and effective ways to stimulate this kind of development in your child. Given its importance, this kind of child development should be conducted both in and out of the classroom environment, to provide a consistent, efficient approach to growth and mental strength. In this article, we will look at some of the ways you as a parent can help stimulate your child's development.
Stimulating child development is a crucial part of raising a child, and requires creativity as much as consideration and thought for the requirements of mature thought and intellect. As a parent, it can often be hard to understand how best to stimulate your child intellectually, and of course there are no rulebooks telling you how it must be done. A great deal of the process comes down to exercising common sense, and understanding the needs and requirements of your child. Through constant interaction with your child, you can help gain a better understanding of the emotional and physical needs which you should then cater to whilst pushing for intellectual development and challenge.
As a parent, you should actively look to immerse your child in reading and writing suitable for their stage of development, whilst also prompting basic numeracy and problem solving capabilities. This combined with the opportunity for creative expression should be a great way to encourage your child and build confidence, as well as creating and strengthening the social bond between parent and child. This kind of interaction and stimulation will ultimately improve your child's social skills, and help emphasise the importance of emotional intelligence, as a supplement to social and academic intelligence.
By providing a range of activities for your child to accomplish, and providing praise and reward for successful completion, you can make learning and development fun for your child, and install a sense of passion as regards learning and self improvement. Through providing constant stimulation for your child, in balance with an emphasis on self dependence, you can create a suitable environment for personal and social development as your child ages and matures.
Child development is not set in stone, and it can be quite difficult to get it perfect every time. Similarly it takes a bit of getting to know your child and interaction on a parental basis, which again will differ from family to family. What is important, however, is that you present a consistent approach to parenting, providing the levels of intellectual and emotional stimulation required by your child at the various stages of development to raise your child to its full potential. By working in-sync with your local school and the educational development of your child, you can give him or her the best chance of success later down the line.

Principle is A.C. Warlick. Hunter Huss is Superintendent the years go from 1943-1951. The pupil named on all of them is Frederic McClure.

Future dilemma!
By: mrankens | 12-08-2008
I married a man and adopted his 6 year old daughter. Her biological Mother passed away when she was just 2, so I am all she has ever known as her Mom. The other day she came to me with something she called a 'secret', and asked me not to tell her daddy. (a boy asked her to kiss him) the dirty rat!
Anyway, one of the things I love most about my marriage is the open communication I have with my husband, I can tell him anything.. and he still loves me! So my question is, how can I be a trust-worthy mom who my daughter, (his) daughter can always confide in and talk to, without betraying my husband?? What if he would find out about some 'secret' I am keeping from him reguarding her? And then on the other hand, if she knew I would tell her dad everything she told me, she might not tell me anything and I'd never know what was going on in her life! I feel stuck between them both. I feel like either way, I have to choose who I will betray! Please tell me, what in the world should I do??? Thank you!
