What sensory activities could you do with your child? What do researchers recommend to support infant development?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 senses for kids Foundation helps to spread the latest scientific findings on early<\/em>childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because we know that being a parent is not easy. We have the exciting responsibility of raising a child. And no one teaches us this in school. Of course, we have the example of our own parents. However, they have not been trained either.<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we share different<\/em> sensory stimulation activities<\/em><\/strong> to help you with this most important task: helping your child to grow and develop.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Baby’s first games are through the awakening of the senses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

During the first few years, children have to learn everything. They are like a blank page ready to receive new experiences. Their brain is wired to explore and learn at high speed, relying on the 5 senses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By offering sensory awareness activities to your child, you are helping them to discover their abilities<\/strong> and to explore and understand the world<\/strong> around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that children learn essentially by having fun. They learn because they have fun. The play aspect is essential. Learning works on this principle: curiosity that is rewarded leads to more curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reward in this case is pleasure, materialised by the secretion of hormones: the one so-called happiness and the reward hormones (serotonin and dopamine). And this pleasure comes largely from social recognition. The reward system in the brain is activated by social reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

An important form of reward for the child is therefore recognition by the adult<\/strong> (A. WALDEN, Tedra and A. OGAN – October 1988)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This leads to a euphoria of learning, when it is taking place. For example, when the child walks for the first time, he or she shows joy echoing that of the parents (MURRAY, Lynne et al. – July 2008)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, when parents show fear or anger in the child’s learning situations, it can result in a fear of learning. Negative parental reactions make learning more difficult and can dampen the child’s curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us now get to the heart of the matter with examples of early learning activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
