CAREABOUTKIDS

PARENTS:It takes time for a child to develop an understanding of the relationship among objects. the first time he or she does a jigsaw puzzle, the child may cry when he makes a mistake. but as the pieces start coming together, ideas begin to click, and the child becomes excited. After he or she masters the puzzle, the child may mess it up on purpose or hide some of the pieces to make it more difficult.Each time a child learns something, the information is stored in the child's memory. The mind sorts what has been learned and finds ways to use it. The older a child becomes, the longer she can store facts, lists, instructions, words, plans, images along with other information and ideas in the child's memory.MY WORD: Puzzles are challenging to children at any age and should be encouraged.
