Children Brain Stimulation with Fun Activities

THE golden child, at ages 3 to 5 years is the most important period in brain development of children. It takes the proper stimulation and thorough with him doing fun and enjoyable activity.

Specific activities for children ages 3 to 5 years to stimulate baby brain to jump further with him to play. Until the age of 2 years, infant and toddler brain grow exponentially every day.

They develop language and motor skills more quickly than we think. But between the ages of 3 to 5 years, brain growth slows down even more.

Conversely, the brain makes connections countless in different areas. Preschoolers are the focus absorb anything in the environment around them. Their minds are developing skills in solving problems and using language to negotiate. They are also studying how to coordinate their bodies to do something to achieve a goal and immediately took aim.

"Children should be in any browsing environment and get ready to do their important things, ie go to school," the doctor said the child's development, a spokesman for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and chairman of the AAP section and behavioral development of children, Michele Macias MD.

"Stimulation of the best in preschool children is a privately interaction with parents," he continued as quoted by the website WebMD.com. Although this is the time to learn self-reliance, caring parents are still needed at this age.

"Simple exchange between language and ideas are the builders of the brain that is far more important than putting your child in a million different activities," said Macias, a professor of pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina, United States.

One of the activities to stimulate the brains of children, among them reading together. Not only is the best way to get quality "time together" with your child, reading is important to improve brain power.

Studies show that running the habit of reading books with your child will improve literacy skills since early childhood.

"(Activities) This helps the children to hone language and vocabulary that would be material and topic of discussion with parents who show better understanding," says child psychologist Richard Gallagher, PhD. He said, the book contains a story and someone who teaches counting, alphabet, sorting and matching activities, as well as core concepts of the same perfect for this age.

Gallagher is a professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at New York University Child Study Center, the United States. The second activity such as play pretend .children pre school usuallyage have a great imagination.

Although they often began to play pretend in smaller age, the life they truly adhered to the imagination when she was aged 3 to 5 years.

"They're starting to play reckless, pretending to be a superhero or a princess royal, and start grooming themselves," said Macias. Besides fun, imaginative play encourages children to play a role."Just as read, these activities continue to be trained to enable the child believes that his experiences do not apply in real life," said Gallagher.

For example, when your child is destroying one car toy, make as if you called an ambulance to rescue the toy or doll to send helicopters to rescue the animal. Imaginative play also helps language skills because it involves the process of thinking about things in a word and repeat what someone heard. The most important in improving brain is the child must have a social life. "Learning by spending time with friends will help improve their social intelligence. Practice continues with self-control, sharing, negotiation, and all the skills that will be needed in the future, "said Macias.

"A child who is not well developed socially could be the most brilliant person in the world in terms of IQ, but their poor social skills may make them less successful in terms of health, the school, even work," said Macias.

Playing with kids the same age also helps preschool children to form stereotypes of someone who is considered "useful". They learn about things that young children or people older than she likes and that boys and girls have different behavior.

"It helps them create a mental map for future reference," said Gallagher.

Encourage children to also play games and puzzles. From games Candy Land to Duck, Duck, Goose, games with the rules to help improve social intelligence. Children learn to exercise patience and fortitude as well learn to accept if he is not otherwise win. And please remember, the application of the rule also serves to execute memory muscles.

Meanwhile, physical games can help sharpen the brain motor coordination. If you get bored, change soon three or four games with simple rules and short game that can be played back quickly.
