What was your learning experience like as a child?\u00a0 Was it enforced or was it too lenient?\u00a0 Did it work for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cLearning is very natural when the child is in an environment that fosters this.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>Sherin Alibhai<\/span><\/p>\n Most adults don\u2019t recognize the power of allowing the child freedom to have their learning moments.\u00a0 Each individual child perceives and analyses information in their own unique manner. When we as adults remain involved through constant talking and telling \u2018how to\u2019 do things, we take away the opportunity for the child to process information that they are receiving through their hands to the brain. Intellectual and cognitive development is enhanced when the child is allowed the freedom to engage in an activity uninterrupted.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cChildren are all about the Process while Adults are all about the Results\u201d!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n How often have we heard the child say, \u201cME DO\u201d? Ever wondered why?\u00a0 Children have a natural desire and need to be engaged and involved in activity.\u00a0 This is how nature meant it to be otherwise the child would not develop.\u00a0 For example, when an infant is ready to walk, it is the child that initiates movement by gripping, supporting and strengthening their muscles. The adult is merely the support and facilitator for a lifelong skill such as \u2018walking\u2019 to develop in the child.<\/span><\/p>\n
