(cognitive, social and emotional and physical)?


Assalammualaikum and hai.
From the Books of Understanding Motor Development Infants, Children, Adolescents,
Adults defines development is a process that begins at conception and continues throughout
life.In other books which is Children, Youth and Development by Nicola Ansell defines the
meaning of development are development is an equally problematic notion,employes
variously to describe a set of inevitable economic and social processes, a desired goal for all
societies or a range of interventions aimed at improving life in poor countries The United
Nations (UN) defines ‘children’ as person aged 0-17 and ‘youth’ as those aged 15-24. When
John Holt wrote much of the original How Children Learn, few psychologists were paying
close attention to the learning of very young children.
From 0 to 18 months is a fun age for toddlers. The child is probably enjoying being the centre
of attention and hamming it up for family and friends. A toddler starts to take in more of the
cognitive skills like memory, and understanding numbers. It is develop just as rapidly as
physical growth. A good environment should enhance children’s development through
learning activity and play.The toddlers may resist any limits you set, but that's just part of
developing their own unique personality toddlers can be very entertaining.
What are the five domains, which are physical, intellectual, language, emotional, social.
These categories each represent a skills that children learn as they grow. The physical focuses
on the development of a child’s body. This includes changes in size, strength and physical
maturity that contribute to gross-motor and fine-motor skills. Growth in this domain is the
most rapid between ages 0-2
A good activities to support the physical development is play with tummy time to build neck
and upper body strength, holding and grasping items for grip strength.The toddlers can play
block. They also can play for hand-eye coordination, walking around for balance and gross
motor skills.While the pre-schoolers can do some activities which are running and stopping
for spatial awareness, drawing and writing for fine motor skills.
The intellectual domain is also known as the cognitive domain. It focuses on how children
process their surroundings and solve problems. Counting and math skills, organization,
imagination and creative thinking fall into this domain. A good activities to support the
cognitive domain is reading to them and pointing out simple shapes, colors and counting
things is helpful to help children understand these concepts. They also can making and
identifying shapes during play, organizing toys during cleanup by color and encouraging
them to count. Young children are naturally curious, so it is really easy to get creative to
engage them.
Communicating with your child is also a great way to solidify your relationship with them
and get to know their little personalities. The language domain covers a child’s speaking and
reading ability as well as the size of their overall vocabulary. This will lay the foundation for
a child’s literacy skills such as reading and writing. The activities that you can do is you can
read to them like you’re talking to them. Hold eye contact and use hand gestures to help
infants understand verbal communication. For toddlers they can read, sing, repeat.The parents
should allow toddlers to repeat their favorite songs and stories to you and encourage them to
add onto their statements.
The emotional domain is all about building an emotional connection, identifying, processing
and expressing feelings. This is arguably the most difficult domain as adults sometimes
struggle with this! A good place to start is by developing the language to talk about emotion
and modeling positive emotional responses for young children, especially in real-time
situations. The activities that you can do is offer toddlers specific language to help them
identify their emotions as they are happening. Describe how a character in a book or show is
feeling to help them relate.
The social domain involves social interactions with their peers.The activities can encourage
group play and positively reinforce when children are being kind to one another. In the event
of a conflict, help children communicate their boundaries using words instead of hitting.
In conclusion many activities may involve more than one domain and it’s totally fine to focus
your observation on one instead of all of them.The key thing is to engage the children in each
activity and notice how they’re responding. Games like hide and seek, playing with building
blocks and group reading all stimulate different areas of a child’s brain and aid in their
overall development.
