Do you know the "sensitive period"? Special infants and young children also have it! Discovering the "sensitive period" will help you get twice the result with half the effort

In order to better protect their children, parents will stop their children from doing things they think are "dangerous". Especially for parents of special children, because their children are underdeveloped or delayed in certain abilities, parents are more careful about their children's safety. If parents understand the sensitive period of children, they can better promote the development of their children in all aspects. Let's take a look at what is the sensitive period of infants and young children?

Sensitive periods occur at specific times during the development of infants and young children. Children have the same landmark events at different times, but special infants and young children have different sensitive periods due to their different mental and intellectual development. This requires parents to observe more carefully. When infants and young children reach their sensitive period, the most common thing parents say is "No!"

Dear moms, dads, grandpas, and grandmas, please recreate the daily scenes and see if you have said it!!!

Baby will tear the napkin when he sees it

Bao's parents thought this was sabotage and sternly said "No!"

The baby uses his little hand to poke his belly button

Bao's parents sternly said "No!"

The baby saw a hole in the bed sheet and couldn't pull it back even with nine cows, so he had to use his hands to drill the hole

Parents often say "No!"

I can't even walk properly, but I'm going to walk on a bumpy road

Bao’s parents will still say “No!”

Parents may wonder, is it possible to do all of this?

Actually! This is a signal that a sensitive period has arrived for infants and young children. 0-6 years old is the best stage for the development of sensitive periods for infants and young children. When a child at a certain growth stage focuses almost all of his/her attention on an event and repeats it over and over again, it means that he/she has entered a sensitive period.

The occurrence period and characteristics of children's growth sensitive period

In her book "Children's Mind", the famous educator Ms. Montessori pointed out that as long as sensitivity exists, potential abilities will continue to develop until they reach a certain solidification stage, but these sensitivities cannot be maintained without changes, but develop during the formation of their mental organs. Once the function is formed, the sensitivity will disappear. Therefore, in the stage when the sensitive period appears, various scientific and effective means are used to promote the improvement of their comprehensive quality and ability. At this stage, children's ability to feel certain stimuli and their sensitivity, thus surpassing their feelings of stimulation. Children's special sensitivity to such things will continue until this feeling demand is fully met. If parents are aware of the existence of this sensitive period, they can promote children's growth in all aspects in a timely manner, so that children can get greater and more adequate development during this optimal development period, which is particularly important for the development of special infants and young children.

Please stay tuned for the next issue to share how to use scientific and effective means to promote the improvement of comprehensive literacy and abilities of special infants and young children.
