How to create a learning environment?

Education and learning your child are every where, not only at school but also at home and in every situation he lives. The moments you spend with your child can take advantage of to learn things,  creating a fun learning environment for very little you need love, patience and enthusiasm.

In this article teach you how you can create an environment for your child to learn with a good teacher: yourself.

» Worry about the game, not the success
While it is true that children follow the same basic patterns of learning,   it is also true that there are many nuances. Some children learn best to listen and see the information,  while others learn by doing and practicing. No matter the method,  which is really important is that your child is encouraged to play objects safely and explore the world around him.

» Read aloud
Reading aloud to your child helps you imagine what he hears and greatly improve your vocabulary. In other words, the vocabulary that the child is two years is proportional to the number of words you've heard talk before that time. Children may not be able to respond verbally when they are young, but process what they hear.

» Reduces background noise
You may be very interested in a TV show or not like silence, but for your child will be better that you spend the time to it and you decrease the background noise. The noise makes it difficult for children to distinguish between the sounds they need to know and those who do not.

» Bring them to the music
If you write them to music lessons or take advantage of times when they are bored to touch a piano or an instrument. Children who study a musical instrument develop better verbal skills and greater dexterity. Other research also shows that music improves memory in general.

» Develop the art
When kids get bored do not know what to do, the holidays are a difficult time in that aspect,  because the "I'm bored" is frequent and we can not entertain them at every turn.
One of the best ways to allow the creative flow is let your child create either writing on a piece of paper or playing with paints and crayons. Besides allowing your imagination to expand, this will help develop fine motor skills (holding a pencil or crayon, clutching a bottle of glue). Ideally regularly do art without you put too many rules,  but can create freely (of course within the paper and not on the wall).

There are many things you can do to encourage your child, but the important thing is that they are moments of fun for them, and not anintelligent desperation for doing yours. Eventually the children develop their skills, along with what you teach him, but little things can help, educate and keep you entertained.

Teaching children the importance of respect

Respectis one of the most important social skills that a person can have. From small and begin to learn how to interact respectfully with others, especially with adults around us. Teaching children the importance of respectis one of the most important tasks we have as companions and educators. In this article we look at some tips for teaching your children respect.

» Teach respect by example
One of the most fundamental things to teach respect is that giver who receives respect. This is especially important in our case,  since it occurs much more exacerbated in children. If we do not respect our children, they will not. The example inrespect of learning, it is completely essential.
If we respect the screams, we are giving mixed messages and confuse the child (apart from the frustration that comes when you get the opposite result to that hope). Always remember to lead by example, be as respectful as you can with both children and adults.

» Give value to respect
Not only the example of adults is important, but we can also teach respectby other children. The next time you see another child in a situation where you are being respectful, acknowledge and praise him in front of the children. Thus, you will be checking that respect is an admirable quality in all children equally. Of course you must not only praise when they show respect for other children, but above all you must praise your own children when they show this beautiful quality.

» Being a patient guide
Another way to build respectis to understand that children are being educated and who have not yet learned to be handled correctly as usadults, we have many more years of experience. Therefore it is expected that from time to time have behavior problems.

Remember, most of the time it just does not know how to express. Teach them to identify their emotions ("I am sad", "I am angry") is important to ensure that the child is emotionally healthy, have a good performance, and become a respectful person.

» Praise respectful attitudes
You can also use different times to remind children how important it was to use respect on this occasion, trying to speak from your perspective and how you perceived the action. For example:  "Remember when we went to the grandparents? Really liked how you helped grandma cook and Grandpa listened without interruption as you told that story."

With a loving and patient guide can teach children about respect.

How to deal with bossy children

Temperament and personality of each child is unique. In the preschool years especially, can be given that children with more assertive and dominant personalities become bossy with other children their age, requiring them to do in every game, demanding that things be done his way through group games at home with siblings and with peers in the garden, and even to ask for things their parents.

These small plaintiffs are challenging and help us to consider how to socialize in ways more enjoyable.

Be patient

One reason that children can be dominant and bossy is because they are imitating that kind of behavior. Although adults who must make decisions in every home, sometimes offer little options or alternatives to make them feel more in control (such as choosing what tea cup, for example) will make them feel less the need to control. Be patient and try to guide your child to learn to ask for things gently without forcing others to please, while you honor your ability to express what they want and need.

Ask behavioral changes

Do not be afraid to remind your preschooler to be use their manners when someone asks for something, and that forcing behavior and demand are not friendly to both the play, share an activity or to the need for help with something. Use "please" never hurts and should not be forgotten.

Give the choice in some respects

When we give children the opportunity to experience a small sense of control over aspects according to their abilities and age, we can reduce their need to be bossy and demanding. Choose from one color or another shirt, or sit on either side of the car to leave options are small children makes them feel the satisfaction of choosing within a realistic scope and chord.

Involve teachers and caregivers

If you suspect that your child's bossy attitude is manifested also in kindergarten, involves teachers to help you monitor the situation and use a strategy similar to yours to guide you toward more enjoyable ways to relate to others, so as not to affect the bond with their peers.

Reverse the situation

When your child begins to give orders to others, remove it from the situation and talk to him. Ask him what his friends would feel if forced to do what they wanted, and you learn to have a record of the impact it can have on their games.

Teach how to relate

Modeling good manners at home: instead of giving orders screaming when you need to order their toys or take a bath, ask to gentilieza and kindness. Children imitate the manners that are represented around. If your child begins to give orders and be bossy, correct at the time giving alternative words to use.

Explain that sometimes things do not go our way

Your little one will learn that sometimes we have to hear "no" answer, and that's natural. If your brother or friend will not play the game that he proposes, it has the right to choose something else and your child must learn to accept it. Guide him and remind these guidelines when you see situations arising before the adoption of a bossy and controlling attitude when things do not go as he expected.

Congratulate you when you use good manners

When the child use appropriate ways to ask for something to others without being bossy, nótalo and make him a comment. Probably help you get increasingly adopting these attitudes rather kind of wanting to control.

Try to understand why this behavior occurs. Sometimes the children repeat the taunts that have been in another place, some other games, family friends, a brother. You should be aware of your child's social interactions and conversations with him.

Explain why circumvent hurts others. Be taught from childhood to children about respecting the feelings of others: in particular it must be modeled at home, with parents examples of respect and empathy for their children.
