Development of children of preschool age

Many mothers are actively interested in methods of developing babies and try to apply them to their children. At this stage, it is important to remember that the development of preschool children has its own characteristics, which must be taken into account in the process of raising crumbs. For children from 3 to 6-7 years of age, training should be based on gaming methods, which will allow children to unobtrusively acquire the necessary knowledge.

Emotional development of preschool children

Ability to understand the feelings of others and express their own is important for a full person. At the age of 4-5 years the child learns to show his emotions with the help of gestures, views. He develops more complex feelings, for example, jealousy.

The emergence of empathy, that is, the ability to empathize, is an important part of the mental development of preschool children. To help a child learn how to understand and manage emotions, can observe the following conditions:

• regular communication with peers, and it is important that they are both individual and game contacts;
• reading fairy tales makes it possible to train the perception of other people's feelings, because often children imagine themselves in the place of heroes, worry about the characters, experience their emotions;
• listening to music;
• story-role games are taught to take into account the situation, mood, opinion and desire of other people;
• it is necessary to pay attention to work that allows the child to experience the emotions associated with the result of his efforts.

Cognitive development of preschool children

Children at this stage are actively improving speech, hearing, improving the perception of color and shape. One of the main processes of knowledge of the surrounding world is vision.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the development of the baby's vocabulary and the ability to express one's thoughts. It should be noted that preschoolers remember very well not only words, but also phrases, sentences. But while this happens spontaneously and only thanks to unobtrusive training and classes, memorization becomes purposeful.

For cognitive development of preschool children use different activities, but it is better to give preference to the game. In her process, the child will learn to model the situation, plan actions, and regulate them. Do not forget about creative pursuits such as modeling, drawing.

Only an integrated approach will bring up a harmonious and comprehensively developed personality.
