Child Development

As busy modern mothers, it’s essential to implement effective habits to ensure we are adequately stimulating our children’s development.

That’s why today you have key advice backed by the pediatrician and proud sister of Evelyn Sánchez:

Promoting motor development: Instead of investing in expensive toys, the importance of giving children opportunities to explore and use their body actively is emphasized.

This can include free playtime on the floor for the little ones, providing balls and objects to kick, and gradually introducing activities like riding a skateboard or a bicycle under supervision.

Assisting Child Development

Stimulating intellectual development: Early reading is highlighted as a valuable tool.

Even from the first months of life, parents are encouraged to read bedtime stories and interact by asking simple questions related to the story.

This practice not only stimulates intellectual development but also strengthens speech and language skills.

Constant interaction: talking to children throughout the day, narrating their daily activities, and giving them opportunities to follow instructions are key practices.

Limits for Children

As children grow, the importance of showing interest in their school activities and experiences to foster their intellectual and emotional development is emphasized.

Moderate use of screens: Turning off screens and focusing on real interaction with children is suggested. Preventing electronic devices from replacing quality time with them is essential for healthy development.

Respecting their individuality: She highlights that children are in a constant process of learning and absorbing information.

Therefore, it is essential to be patient and aware of their individual progress, recognizing that small daily actions, such as talking to them and giving them simple responsibilities, can have a significant impact on their development.

You’re on the Right Track

In summary, stimulating children’s development is about taking advantage of everyday life opportunities to interact and learn together.
