4 Positives Of Early Learning With Toddlers

Early learning has been recognized as an integral part of child rearing for some time now - and with the advent of the internet, it has only become more and more important. Children need to be prepared for the life when they enter school. The problem is that a lot of parents do not know much about it or are skeptical of it - preferring their children to develop at a natural pace and not wanting to interfere. However, this is not true - children need to be nurtured from a young age and they need all the support their parents are able to give them.



1. Better Test Scores

It has been shown time and time again that starting your child's education early will benefit their test scores when they start school. Test scores might not be the greatest test of intelligence, but they do mean a lot in school and for any advancement in life as they are looked at everywhere. Beginning your child on an educational journey is one of the steps you can take to ensure that their future is bright and full of hope.

2. Greater Confidence

Children are very inquisitive. They always want to know about their surroundings, which is why when a child is lacking in knowledge - it can get very depressed. The more your child knows, the more their confidence will grow. The old days of ignorance being bliss are long gone and websites such as Wikipedia have instilled a need to know more about the world in many people today. If you start your child off correctly, then there is no need to fear for them losing their confidence with any subject that they might take at school or at college.

3. Greater Reading Ability 

The child who reads is a child who will succeed goes an old saying. This is particularly true in today's world with websites that offer lots of information on a wide variety of topics - and the sheer amount of new books coming out. Starting your child's love of reading at an early age is crucial to their development. Don't let them down by not getting them in the mood to read, as it could hamper them immensely - particularly at university level.

4. It will give their brain a boost

It's been proven time and again that children who are started on an early learning program tend to have higher IQ's and increased mental capacity. Now what parent wouldn't love that?

How Early Childhood Education Affects A Child

Parents who are thinking of enrolling their children in an early childhood education may encounter a lot of issues regarding the appropriateness. There is an on-going debate with regards to sending children to school before they even reach 5 years old. Some people believe that kids are better off playing and enjoying their childhood, while others think that children need to be taught early on. Both of these may be due to the fact that they just want their children to enjoy, while others simply want to take advantage of the intelligence they possess during this stage.

What Parents Can Do to Ease a Child's Anxiety About Preschool

Children who have never attended preschool before can find the experience very distressing at first. Kids are very routine-oriented by nature, and interrupting their normal way of doing things by introducing strange new experiences can cause some emotional and even physical setbacks. There are ways that parents can help reduce their kids' anxiety to help them to adjust to preschool. Why the Anxiety? An anxious child may begin hiding, crying, become physically violent, or even regress in their toilet training. These are all manifestations of their fear, which is summed up in two problems: separation anxiety and fear of the unknown. The two are closely linked, but are not the same. Separation anxiety occurs when the child is afraid to let mom or dad go, because they do not know if they will ever see them again. Preschool-age children are at the developmental stage where they recognize the impermanence of things, and they fear change, and the unknown, for that reason. They
