The Importance Of Play

Play is a serious business as far as a growing child is concerned, not serious in the sense that she has a frown on her face, nor serious in the sense that she weighs up all her actions very carefully during play, but serious in the sense that play is very important to her all-round development.

Gender Diffrences

Gender identity (that is, a child’s sense of “boyness” and girlness”) develops throughout childhood. And, believe it or not, boys and girls do behave differently even as early as the age of one or two years.

Children & Collections

Unlike adults who collect, children don’t simply focus their attention on items that are expensive, such as antiques, china or fine paintings. Cost is irrelevant when it comes to childhood collections – anything can catch the imagination of an inquiring young mind, stimulating her desire to categorize, sort and augment.

Every young child needs to have a strong self-concept. In other words, she needs to feel good about herself; she needs to like herself and to value herself - and if she doesn’t, then she’ll be thoroughly miserable and lack confidence.

Dealing With Agression

The chances are that the children you mind are well-behaved and cooperative for much of the time.

Coping With Fussy Eaters

A picky eater who prods tentatively at her food may do so because the meal looks unappetising from her point of view. You will almost certainly have child-sized chairs, tables and cutlery in your own house, but the child’s parents may not have considered this for meals at home - if she doesn’t have a comfortable eating position during a meal or if the cutlery is too big for her little hands to hold, her enthusiasm for food will evaporate.
