As children grow, they seek to better understand the world around them. Growing up is a process of <\/em>exploration<\/em><\/strong> and <\/em>mastery <\/em><\/strong>of themselves and their environment.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a parent, you can <\/em>help your toddler to develop<\/em><\/strong>. How can you do this? By inviting them to use their five senses.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why work on the five senses?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The primary aim of multisensory pedagogy is to develop and awaken the five senses<\/strong> in the child. The perceptual channels are the starting point for everything. Child discover the world <\/strong>through their five senses. They are what link us to others. It is through them that we are connected to reality. But it is also by using them that we can develop our intuition<\/strong>, innovate <\/strong>and improve our creativity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpening the senses has a positive impact. Children can then live their lives more fully! This is one of the missions of “5 senses for kids Foundation<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can we sharpen our senses<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice from neuroscientists to awaken the 5 senses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stimulating the child is undoubtedly beneficial. However, it is not the quantity of sensory experiences that matters. Overstimulation can even be tiring for the toddler. What works is to stimulate the sensory abilities in a varied way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our brain is less interested in what is constant. Instead, it is particularly interested in what is changing. It detects changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This principle also applies to the sense of smell<\/a> (PELLEGRINO, R et al – August 2017)<\/strong>. When we enter a room with a particular smell, we notice it. Then, very quickly, we get used to it. The constant olfactory information disappears. Thus, the brain can maintain a level of detection of new things at very low thresholds. It eliminates everything that doesn’t change and concentrates on what does change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore important to offer children variety to sharpen the senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

You get them to smell a new smell or taste a new food. In this way, you will enable him to discover more things, to increase his range of perception<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can play songs from all over the world to stimulate <\/strong>hearing<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. You can have them touch sand, ice, silk to develop their sense of smell <\/strong>and feel touch<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> For the sense of smell, you can gather olive oil, lavender and spices..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“5 senses for kids Foundation<\/em>” recommends that you provide rich sensory experiences throughout your child’s first 1,000 days<\/a>, when brain plasticity is at its peak. He or she will benefit from a greater openness to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best way to conduct these experiences is through play.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
