CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In the first year, babies learn to focus their vision, reach out, explore, and learn about the things that are around them. Cognitive, or brain development means the learning process of memory, language, thinking, and reasoning. Learning language is more than making sounds (“babble”), or saying “ma-ma” and “da-da”.

Detailed explanation-2: -Recite nursery rhymes and sing songs. Play rhymes, stories and songs in the car. Copy your child’s attempts at words to encourage two-way conversation. Also build on your child’s words – for example, when your toddler says ‘train’, you can say, ‘Yes, it’s a big red train’.

Detailed explanation-3: -How Do Toddlers Communicate? Most kids say 1–2 words by 15 months and 3 or more words by 18 months. By 2 years old, most toddlers are saying even more words and can put together 2-word sentences. No matter when they say their first words, it’s a sure bet they already understand much of what you say.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s during these years that your child’s brain begins to develop memory, language, thinking and reasoning skills. They learn by imitating the behavior of others, especially adults and older children. It can also be a trying time, as they begin to show defiant behavior and set out to explore the world around them.
