Our textbook has a section about fine motor skills. The writer of this article is Maria Montessori. She emphasized that after birth, researchers show that 75% of the brain develops. The article and the book both talk about the importance of building muscle control and strength with playing. While children are playing they are using their motor skills.  The book goes in details of how children play certain games and they are actually learning essential lessons as they are developing that will follow them into their toddler years and beyond.]]> 2017-01-18 02:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147717463 lbarnes1209 https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147721196      Dr. Renew is my daughter's doctor. The best doctor on this side of the Mississippi in my eyes! Lol. I remember in her early years about making sure she gets physical activity in.  She wanted her to be outside being physical rather than inside watching tv. I took her advice then but I see how important it is to incorporate that in the lives of children. The article mention something that I found to be so true, the fact of how kids now a days aren't growing up the way that we did. I lived outside as a child, but now technology is taking over. We played from sun up to sun down. Physical activity is an important part of a child's development process]]> 2017-01-18 03:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147721196 lbarnes1209 https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147721553   Who would have thought that playing is learning! When you think of playing , you simply think of just that, playing. There are skills and strategies that children are learning when they play. My daughter was born premature and there was a program that came to our home to help her with her development. The program was Babies Can't Wait. They helped to build her motor skills. I remember her playing games with blocks alot. Stacking those blocks were teaching her physical and social-emotional, and language.]]> 2017-01-18 03:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147721553 lbarnes1209 https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147973439      Playing teaches and educates children. It is funny because when you think of playing you do not normally think of learning, but that is what's going on. Children are learning how to deal with emotional problems while they are playing! Playing also helps them to adapt in society. My eyesight is clear now and I can see how that works  ]]> 2017-01-18 23:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147973439 lbarnes1209 https://padlet.com/lbarnes1209/bt6hjvaktlp9/wish/147988681   I chose the second website to complete my assignment, but I loved the first website, it was https://childdevelopmentinfo.com/childdevelopment/understanding-your-child-guide/#WHerOPkrKM8. The title of this website is A guide to understanding your child. I can truly say I love the relationship that my daughter and I have. There is no guide book to parenting. I am not tooting my horn with the next statement I am going to make. People constantly tell me how great of a mother I am. My daughter makes sure she tells me often. Lol. I have to give credit to my mother. I feel as a lot of people feel, that my mom is the best! She along with my dad did a great job raising my sister and I the right way. One may ask what is the right way. In my eyesight I would say showing us love, providing a healthy environment for us, giving us chores, and being there for us is only a few. I went back from what I remember in my childhood and I give my daughter what I was given, unconditional love and support!
Everyone probably says this about their child(ren) she is the best daughter a mother could have! She's respectful, well mannered, and she brings so much joy! I know her! She's getting older now and there is something that the article mentioned that caught my attention. How children will pick up attributed from their environment. We live in south Augusta and to be honest a lot of parents raise their children differently. I have noticed she's been a little sassy. She doesn't speak in a sassy way,, but her body gestures sometimes. I had to get on to her last week about not picking up things or ways she see other kids acting. I told her she will see a TOTAL DIFFERENT side of her mother if I see it again! I told her you have emotions and that is fine. You will get mad at me, don't like me or what I say I told her to go in her room, deal with it, and talk to God about it! I told her I don't want to see it! I just enjoyed the article because it was something I could relate too. I see other website that they suggest, and I look forward to exploring. Her teenage years are coming and I want to be prepared the best way possible. I don't even know if it is a way for me to prepare!
