Children aged 1 to 3

 

Children aged 1 to 3 are in a period of rapid development, both physically and mentally. Here are some activities you can do with children of this age to help them develop comprehensively:

1. Encourage language development:

Read books to children: Read books with pictures and simple stories. This not only helps develop

language skills but also enhances children's imagination.

Talk to children: Make it a habit to talk to children about what is around them, helping them understand and learn new vocabulary.

2. Physical development:

Play gentle sports: Encourage children to walk, run, jump, climb (but always ensure safety).

Build balance and coordination: Play games with children such as soccer, play with softball, or

games that focus on flexibility and motor skills.

Play with motor development toys: Toys such as strollers, scooters, and building blocks can help children

develop their motor skills.

3. Develop thinking:

Play building blocks: Simple building blocks help children develop logical thinking and

problem-solving skills.

Explore colors and shapes: Teach children to recognize colors, shapes, and sizes through objects or toys.

Encourage creativity: Let children play with clay, paint, cut paper, or other creative activities

to develop their imagination and intelligence.

4. Develop social and emotional skills:

Play with friends or siblings: Small group games will help children learn to share, take turns, and integrate into the community.

Help children understand and manage emotions: Explain to children about emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and help them learn to

identify their own emotions.

5. Help your child develop a habit of independence:

Teach your child to do simple things on their own: such as washing their hands, eating, dressing, or cleaning up their toys.

This not only helps your child feel independent but also helps develop life skills.
