During the first three years of life, the baby is very dependent on parents, and therefore, he spends almost all his time surrounded by these people, the most beloved by him, people. In addition, this age period is a time of intensive development of all higher mental functions and most skills, of which the successful life of the child in the future is formed.
One of the very important aspects of development is the formation of logical thinking. For those who do not know exactly what it is, let’s explain: this is the ability to compare and conduct an analysis, reason and draw the right conclusions, make classifications. Of course, the baby will begin to understand and consciously approach classes much later, but from six months of age you can offer the child various developmental games in order to familiarize themselves and unobtrusive learning.
Requirements for tasks:
Tasks need to be selected so that the baby can manipulate objects.
The tasks should be diverse so that the baby does not get bored and does not lose interest.
All materials should be bright and beautiful, as well as safe. And it is better not to leave the child alone with the elements used in the classroom.
Turn on your imagination. Classes should not be held in the form “We are sitting at the table and performing”. The child must run and move, create artificial obstacles to him and much more.
Do not rush to give your child a complex material immediately or fill it with a bunch of information. Nothing good will come of it – that’s for sure. Act gradually and proceed to complicate only when the baby will successfully fulfill the tasks that you proposed earlier.
Never scold the baby for an incorrectly completed task, just as do not force him to do something against the will. The child now just does not know how to sit in one place for a long time.
Select tasks, as well as the way they are presented, in accordance with the age of the child.
Tasks for kids may look as follows:
General classification, or division into groups. Start with a division into two groups, with a gradual complication. For example: toys, clothes, dishes, etc.D.
Sort: mass options – by color, material, size, etc.D.
Compilation of one figure from parts. Also, at first a simple one, for example, a large square of small ones, and then you can reach the puzzle before collecting.
For an older age, you can already take the exception of the excess.
Alternation (circle – square – triangle – circle – square – that the next?).
Learning to track the time interval and sequence. For example, decompose pictures that depict the development of a flower in order.
Riddles are great.
