Importance of early childhood

The best predictor of a successful conclusion is a good start. The old adage is as true today as when it was first said that long ago that no one can say very clearly who first uttered these words. When it comes to educating young children, this proverb is of great importance that it is difficult to overstate the importance. All learning and life experience is shaped by what happens to the child in the early years of his life. Influence of family is important, butinfluence of educational opportunities for young children is just as strong, and in some ways more powerful. Why is the effect of early childhood education, which determines the attitude of a child will go to formal education at primary or secondary.

The world today is a tough place. There seems to be better to hate each other. It seems less and less able to accept those who are different from us. In a world full of violence, crime, bullying, and chaosunpredictable, we need to ask some key questions. Why is it that some children

Does not become violent?

Do not become bullies?

Do not get depressed?

Do not hate yourself and others?

Do not despair and give up life?

It may not be the deepest questions are asked in today's world, but are among the most important. How can we turn to discern the answers to these questions? What we know we can help solve problems involvingin them and achieve a vision of how to raise and educate their children?

The answers to these questions and more children on the scene of a new research on how the human brain grows and develops. Although we are a long way from knowing exactly what to violence and depression, we learned a lot about how to harness the potential of the brain as a body to help children grow up to become productive and contributing members of society can occur. Before examining some ofThe implications of this research, we need to explain the five areas of development that all children through the review during childhood.

Understanding Child Development

There are five areas of development that children undergo as they grow to become young adults. These steps in a fairly predictable sequence, one after another. Are the steps in a staircase that leads to higher levels do not. Are a series of steps, like a child endless cyclehow to grow and mature. At one point the highest level of performance can not be in a certain area is reached, but that does not mean that the child may develop in other areas of the spiral is not.

The five areas of child development are:

• Physical
• Intellectual
• Language
• Emotional
• Social
They are easy to remember with the acronym a bit 'unlucky bunker.

Physical

This field of child development is without doubt the easiest tounderstood and respected. Physical development includes: motor, motor control, motor control, motor coordination and kinesthetic feedback. We explain each of these cards.

• Large motor skills are large movements of the muscles in the legs, chest and arms.

• motor skills are the movements of small muscles of the fingers and hands.

• motor control is the ability to move muscles big and small.
• coordination of the engine is the abilityto move the muscles in a constant rate of movement.
• kinesthetic feedback is the body's ability to provide input to the muscles of the external environment so that the person who knows where her body is positioned in space.

Intellectual development

This area concerns the level of intelligence of a child in general and for the various aspects of intelligence that affects the overall level of general ability. One of these many aspects are:

• Verbal skills, our abilityto communicate with words, ideas, attitudes, beliefs, thoughts and feelings.
• non-verbal skills, our ability to visual-spatial and perceptual skills using the world around us to interpret.
• Attention-span and the ability to maintain focus on an incentive for a sufficient time to interpret and understand.
• the merger, our ability to use the attention to juggle with various permutations incentives are needed to analyze with accuracy.
• Visual-motor skillsability to coordinate movements of the eyes and hands to manipulate objects efficiently.
• Visual-perceptual skills-the ability to analyze visual stimuli, without necessarily manipulate manually.
• for the auditory or visual memory (or even kinesthetic, as in the case of dance steps to remember), and can be divided into a few major sub-types:
– Immediate recall-the ability to take input long enough to recall immediately if it is necessary to make
– Short-term –memory capacity to pull over a long time, perhaps minutes or hours
– Long-term memory capacity for storing input and memory, after she had good vision, perhaps days or months, even years after

Grammatical development

Linguistic refers to language development. Like other areas of child development can be divided into sub-types.

• receptive language, our ability to understand spoken language, when we hear
• expressive language ability, wespoken language used to communicate to others
Pragmatic language • ability to understand humor, irony, sarcasm and knowing how to react appropriately asks what others have said or, and know when to wait and listen
• Self-ability to speak for the common silent language to use for thinking through problems, to address the problems and delays of pulses
• Reasoning-the ability to think through the issues, often with self-talk, but sometimes loudly that the action plansthe use of the words
• creative thinking, but not a strict linguistic function, I am here because many people use the language creatively, in new and innovative ways (eg, Joyce, Beckett)

Emotional development

This aspect of development, along with social development, is probably one of the most wealth, but they are the most important aspects of learning to live in the world. No matter how good intellectual, physical and language development, we are condemned to livelife in frustration and difficulty, if we have not received adequate emotional development. These include:

• frustration tolerance, ability to effectively manage when things are not the way we want or expect to
• impulse control and the ability to think before you act, and not everything that enters our heads
• Anger Management skills to resolve conflicts without the use of verbal or physical violence
• Inter-personal intelligence to understand the attitudes, beliefs andmotivations of others
• Intra-personal intelligence to understand our attitudes, beliefs and motivations

Social Development

• component to know how to request the use of the material in another part
• Turn-taking, knowing when it's your turn to do something and when to ask if you can do
• Co-skills working with others toward a goal of the task group
• Cooperation ability to communicate your input significantly from working withother.
Again, it is necessary to reiterate a very important role in social and emotional development plays in our ability to live a life of dignity and respect. They have also largely determine how well they work with colleagues, including basic and beloved life-partner.

When we realize that all children go through every area of development of our educational program designed for those who are evolving appropriate. Most kindergartens have done just that. Unfortunately, manyearly years settings and children succumb to pressures toward academic goals and objectives, sometimes almost superhuman push. Indeed, the curriculum inappropriate in our junior and senior infant classes was largely delayed. It is the teacher and parent-child centered and focused wholly inadequate. Regardless, appropriate or inappropriate, is not enough to focus on the development of a child alone in our work with young children. We must begin to innate potential that is locked in recognitionbaby's brain.

Human brain

Locked inside the brain are the opportunities that make us human. We are born with the ability to:

• Love Hate
• Patience distrust
• Violence Tenderness
• Hope Despair
• Trust suspicion
• Dignity corruption
• Respect the revenge
E 'responsibility of adults to unlock the positive elements in the brain and prevent the negative view.

All educational experiencesof children in their early years, virtually all the educational experience of children during the school year, the position of an emphasis on freedom in the positive potential of the brain. Recent brain research, mostly done by Dr. Bruce Perry of Texas, has highlighted six strengths of each in relation to brain growth and development should be focused on developing educational programs suitable for children .

The six main strengths

Bruce Perryand colleagues at the Child Trauma Academy in Texas six strengths that are related to the predictable sequence of growth and development of the brain have been identified. These six points of strength, if it is properly nurtured and promoted, will help a child become a productive member of society. They are:

• Supplement
• Self
• Establishment
• Adaptation
• Tolerance
• Respect
Attachment

The first of the six main strengths, first in his childhood. ItThe bond of love between the child and primary caregiver. Early theorists call "the inventor of the mother as primary caregiver, but it is now recognized that it was both a father, grandparents, or any other person to love. The main creditor, where they provide a consistent and predictable care for the child creates what which is known as a "safe" link. This is achieved through rhythmic dance between child and caregiver, love cuddles, hugs, smiles and sounds that passbetween relatives and the child. This should be out of step dancing, unpredictable, chaotic, incoherent or a "potentially dangerous" is formed. When attachments are probably the child learns that he loves and is loved, that adults will be provided to health care, and the world a safe place. When the connection is uncertain child learns otherwise.

When the child grows from a base of a secure connection, he or she is willing to love and a friend. To create a secure connectionability to form and maintain healthy emotional bonds with each other. Attachment is the model that allows us the world and people see.

Self

Self-regulation is the ability to think before acting. Few children are not good at what they have learned this skill as they grow if they are guided by caring adults, showing them how to stop and think. Self-regulation is the ability to record our primary urges such as hunger, elimination, comfort and control with them. InIn other words, is the ability to delay gratification and time to arrive. Good self-regulation to prevent the anger and rage valuable space and help us to continue to tolerate frustration and stress. This is a skill to learn and, like all nuclear power plants, rooted in profound neuronal connections within the brain.

Affiliation

Affiliation is the glue of a healthy relationship. When children are taught in an environment and promote positive peerinteraction through play and creative group projects that teach them the power relationship developed. And 'the ability to "cover" and to work with others to create something stronger and more durable usually created by one person. Establishment makes it possible to produce a little 'stronger and more creative than that obtained by one. Affiliation bring awareness of the child that he or she is not an "I" alone, but an "us" together.

Alignment

Atonementpower to see beyond ourselves. E 'ability to recognize the strengths, needs, values and interests with others. Teamwork just start earlier in childhood. One child had recognized that I had a girl, he was a boy. During the early years of education are more nuanced: it is India and how different foods than I, she is from Kenya and speaks with an accent different from I. tuning help children see similiarities than differences, because as a child progressesto see the colors of skin, and different ways of speaking, he or she begins to recognize that people are more alike than different. This brings us to the next nuclear power.

Tolerance

As the child develops the main force of the correction, the difference is not really learn all that is important. The child learns that the difference is well tolerated. Through this learning, the child develops the awareness that the difference is that all human beings. Tolerance is dependentadaptation and requires patience and an opportunity to live and study with people who at first sight "different." We must overcome our fear of difference in being tolerant.

Respect

The last nuclear power is respect. Respect is a permanent process of development. Observance of respect for the self-respect for others. This is the last stronghold of the region to develop, requires a good environment and the opportunity to meet many people. Genuine respect and value diversitytry it. Children who have other children who also develop the basic strength, respect is not intimidated by people who think differently. An environment in which many children will be gathered to learn, explore and play, promoting respect of nuclear power.

How the Brain Grow

The brain grows from the bottom up. Each of the central forces are linked to a stadium, and place in the brain to grow. Childhood link in bonds were purchased and have been deep emotional signalsin the brain. At the same time, the brain stem to see that the functions of the body can be self-regulation. Later in childhood, the emotional centers of the brain is increasingly under control, and temperament space so he disappeared and the child to manage their emotions. In mid-childhood in a child's brain begins to develop the ability to think and reflect on the external environment. E 'at this time the frontal areas of the brain starts to mature, and it is at this stage of brain growthWhen possible ties key strength, coordination, tolerance and respect has grown well.

The classroom and main strengths of the brain

The education of children with heart out power in mind. Classrooms where there is peace and harmony among a wide range of children will need to create opportunities for connection, tolerance and respect for development. This class must be marked for play, creative exploration of articles, lessonsBased on the non-teaching lessons. There should be a challenge for the brain, in terms of experience and innovative teaching methods. The cooperative learning should be part of the school day. The classroom from time to time shall have the opportunity to be involved in active cooperation of mixed ability group. There must be an opportunity for long-term thematic projects to explore. The teacher will guide, always learn the main forces in mind, always observe the children andfeel need more structure and guidance as they grow from nuclear. The teacher must be a person that children perceived as predictable, caring, patient and kind, a person who is not obsessive attention to errors.

Whose responsibility is it?

We learned that the baby's brain grows in a predictable sequence, and although this growth has six nuclear power plants for a healthy life in the world. Every child is born with a brainfull potential for the development of this power base. But any brain must be able to interact with a class and home environment that enables the development of these forces. E 'responsibilities of adults, especially parents and teachers to do it well.
