Cognitive: Yasmine's Reflection on textbook Intellectual Development

  The important part to remember is to know that the we part Science and  practice support and add to each other.  The science wouldn't have any meaning without us putting it into practice in our everyday lives and the practices wouldn't be effective when they are not based on the kind of knowledge provided by the science. They both need each other.  Maria Montssori was the first to point that we learn things unconsciously through our everyday action. The roots of early childhood education lie on child's development.  There are activities that can help children develop their ability to classify into set and with time to cross-classify into several sets to help them with their mathematical abilities.  Children do better on tests of early rithm skills when their early care and education program have more music experience.  Respond to babies cries, lullabies, finger plays and songs for babies and young children is a form of communication that begins long before they understand their own language. Through play as human, we invent new understanding and practice skills, but we see it easily in young in children's play. For example providing tools that help them developing, use toys that put power and imagination in the child rather than in the toy maker, provide toy that encourage joint activities and coorporation.
