Many today’s parents are
busy thinking about what courses should be booked to promote the development
of the child. Based on the study
of a developmental
psychologist from Germany, Ellen Galinsky,
infants have the
highest enthusiasm for learning than
children of preschool age. It
happened because of the baby
can still rejoice in the learning process.
But the joy of learning can slowly fade with increasing child’s age. It often occurs in children of parents who are too ambitious, trying to cram the child with a lot of knowledge rather than supporting their children to stay happy during the learning process.
Indeed, the child does not require a lot of courses at early age, the better is the right picking out toys and games that can help children achieving a happier life and success in the future, without leaving an element of fun in learning.
Here are types of toys and games that appropriate for toddlers:

Here are types of toys and games that appropriate for toddlers:
1.Stacking toys
Shape: lego, blocks, puzzles.
Benefits: concentration and control learning.
Encourage your child by giving a good example. When you do an activity, show that you can concentrate on the task well. Once the work is completed, you may perform new activity.
2. Challenge games
Form: racing crawl, hide and seek, ball throwing, puzzle, and so on.
Benefits: life is a challenge, and the challenge started since the child born.
Encourage your child to have confidence to do something. Don’t directly forbid if a child wants to face the challenge, just accompany the child. Praise the child not only when he/she succeeds, but also for the efforts.
3. Imaginative game
Form: play to pretend one’s role, for example, pretending to be a mother.
Benefits: learn to understand the actions and feelings of others.
Encourage your child to explain the felt emotions, for example when she is sad or angry. This explanation is important, because from birth, the child is able to feel a range of emotions, but doesn’t know what it's called.
Encourage children to talk about their feelings, when he was able to define his feelings. The more clever children to recognize their own feelings, the better he understands others, and the better he set her feelings.

Encourage child by asking him to make plan such as vacation plans. Support the plan, offer assistance if necessary.
