Capturing children's sensitive periods

From the time a child is born, he or she can walk, eat, read and write. The child went from having nothing to fully understanding and adapting to this complex world. This seemingly impossible task was accomplished so steadily and completely step by step. According to experts, it is because the sensitive period of children gives children a life boost. When children become sensitive, they will have an irresistible driving force in their hearts to drive them to develop a fanatical motivation to learn things that interest them until their hearts are satisfied.

The sensitive period is directly related to the growth and health of children. When the sensitive period cannot be developed or is hindered in terms of demand, children will lose the best opportunity to learn. If they want to learn again in the future, they will need to spend a lot of time and energy. How to use sensitivity to help children grow more perfectly? The following experts will give you some suggestions. I hope parents can grasp their children’s sensitive period in time.

Respect for the individual: Children are natural learners with abilities. They will follow the natural laws of growth and continue to grow themselves into "more capable" individuals. This is the first concept that parents need to change.

Careful observation: The sensitive period appears at different times for each child, so adults must observe the child’s inner needs and individual characteristics carefully with an objective attitude.

Enriched learning: When adults observe the emergence of a child's sensitive period, they should try their best to prepare an environment for the child that meets his growth needs.

Encourage children: When children are respected and trusted, they will freely explore and try new things in the environment.

Provide timely assistance: When children are enthusiastic about something they are interested in, adults should "let them do it on their own" and avoid interfering. However, this does not mean abandoning the child or not caring about him/her at all, but rather providing assistance and guidance when appropriate.

Nurturing the mind: The sensitive period of young children (children going through the sensitive period have their helpless bodies being directed by a divine command and their little minds being inspired.) The sensitive period is not only a critical period for young children's learning. It also affects the development of their mind and personality. Therefore, adults should respect the behaviors and actions given to children by nature and provide necessary help. So as not to miss the special vitality that only comes once in a lifetime.

This shows that it is particularly important to capture children’s sensitive period. The sensitive period is the key for parents to help their children grow up healthily. Once missed, it cannot be repaired. When children use their hands and senses to experience the world, parents must devote their full efforts to help their babies grow up healthily.
