Stimulation For Children

Two terms of supporting the development of the brain is proper nutrition and stimulation in children.  I have discussed about nutrition in previous articles that measure the child head. In this article we will discuss the stimulation for children. Initially nerve fibers of the brain at birth is only a point to point. But with the stimulation that is given routinely to make the fibers are grown and have many branches. 

So it is very necessary at the age of one to five year old received stimulation to accelerate brain development. Although we realize that children are also actively trying to stimulate their self. Such as babbling, crawling, walking, and others. So what we do is helping them to be more active to stimulate. These parents have stimulated to children, although many of those do not know that by doing such stimulation will greatly assist their child's brain development.

So what just done by parents that just imitate the other parents around them, how to care for their children with the stimulation that is given. One example is always invited to communicate by talking to the child while changing diapers, bathing, or when feeding, even though their children have not been able to speak. but these measures can provide stimulation to the child to respond by talking or laughing.

Stimulation is given with the goal of developing the four aspects. Hard motor, soft motor, language and intelligence. These include gross motor physical abilities, such as supine, prone, crawl, walk, jump up one leg and others. So this stimulation is given to children while playing, causing a sense of enthusiasm and fun for children to follow the stimulation that we provide. But we must also consider the safety and comfort in providing this stimulation. Such as provides ample space when they begin to learn to walk and be free from dangerous objects, to avoid a collision or other things. Soft  motor is related by skills using a finger, eye coordination, handle objects, unbuttoned shirt, and others. So we can give them toys that have sound when shaking. we try to ring from the left side and move to the right, we'll look at the child's eyes follow and tried to grab the toy. To aspect intelligence, we can provide a picture image and explain its function, providing a variety of color images with bright colors, learning to count, and gives a lot of toys educational toys are sold in toy stores or baby stores. For aspects of language can begin by introducing the name of the person's name around, invite storytelling, and others. Ok, that information can I share this time. material information I got from  magazine " Sehat " issue 13 to 19 May 2011 and from www.ihs-ihs.com
