sensory stimulation and childcare?




portuguese


How much sensory stimulation do you think caregivers should provide for infants? Could an infant be given too much sensory stimulation?


Answer
How much is too much?

Age, development, and individuality, all play a role in identifying the optimal stimulation threshold in a particular child. As a general guideline, stimulation activities should be limited to three sessions per day and not to exceed fifteen minutes per session. Your child will tell you when âtoo muchâ is âtoo muchâ. Does he become irritable after ten minutes? Does he push away the toys? Learn to read his cues and remember that sensory-stimulation activities are to be short in duration and individualized.

A good teaching aid for infants (0-18 months) to make? 10 points to best answer!!?

Q. So for my foundations in early childhood development class for college, we have a project and we have to make our own teaching aid (can be like a bulletin board, door decoration, mobile, toy, book, activity, game, puppet,etc.) It needs to be one approtiate for a infant (which is 0-18 months) and for me it has to deal with the physical dominion. I have like ideas but nothing good enough where I can make it and be creative. I just was hoping someone would have some good ideas on here, that I could make! :)

Thanks so much!


Answer
The best toys for infants are those that are fairly simple, brightly colored, and make noise. Younger infants need small rattles that they can learn to reach for and grasp, and as babies start to develop their coordination, place toys just out of reach so they can learn to creep and crawl to get what they need. Toys of different materials and textures are a great stimulation to babies, and little ones will enjoy looking at themselves in unbreakable mirrors during playtime


also books with lots of bright big pictures, toys, shapes and little kitchen applience(there is one for babies)
