From 2-6 years of age your toddler needs to develop and boost his imagination skills. As a parent you should encourage your kid to be creative, imaginative and curious, which in turn will help him understand processes, and develop a better grasp of logic.
Read on to find out some creative yet free ways to encourage a smart toddler.
First, rather than buying piles of stuff and bucket of an assortment of toys, try to convert a part of your house in a conductive way for your child’s needs. This will encourage active learning in your toddler. Provide him with sand, clay and water to create structures, this helps to boost creative skills in youngsters. Toddlers explore more with simple and cheap toys. So, don’t bother to buy expensive toys who are more often than not mind-numbing and comfortable more than engaging and interesting.
Bonus: A curious toddler would spend more time building, disassembling and fiddling around than craving your constant attention.
Next, Set up a separate area for reading books for your toddler. To encourage learning it is best to choose furniture scaled down for them, this way parents will encourage the kids to use the area more often. Make sure the books are interesting, not just what is trendy and best sellers. Even if your child is to young to read, and even if he’s a baby – pictures can tell a story better than words. You can even write your own story!
Another idea is not to buy those damn children videos. It is recommended that your child’s Video or DVD library items would be chosen with the same respect and consideration as yours. Try to focus on videos that are suitable for children, rather than ones who are made for children (or at least keep a good ratio between them), such as nature videos, National Geographic, Discovery, etc.
Encourage your child to operate the video or DVD himself, this will not only save you time now, but will help your offspring deal better with technical problems in the future without requiring your assistance.
Buying an art activity desk can encourage drawing and innovative skills. An art activity desk includes table, chair, drawing sheets, pencils, and colors. This activity desk would not cost you more than $10.
It’s always best to set up an area that encourages learning and games, spend time with your toddler while they explore and discover, and make sure they focus on beneficial activities. You don’t necessarily have to spend more money to raise a smart kid, just spend it right.
