Children need consistency with reasonable limits to create security in knowing what to expect. By learning to make good decisions, children can begin to depend on themselves rather than others for answers to problems. Children grow in spurts. Activity for the body helps the mind grow. Young children are self-centered and cannot see your point of view.
Children first learn to name things, then learn to put like things together.
Talking to and reading to children helps them learn new words. Ask children questions to help them think, not just yes or no questions. Developing trust in adults is a basis for all learning to get along with others. Play is how children learn. North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
