They need to repetitively hear, see or do things in order for the necessary learning connection to be made in their brain. Cognitive Development: When a toddler encounters a “problem,” such as a toy breaking, or difficulty turning on a toy, give him/her time to work out the problem independently. Children are motivated by a little frustrating to use their problem-solving skills. Communication in pretend play, children use role play and communication. By pretending to be someone else enables toddlers to use voice inflections and language, in situations they may or may not have encountered yet. Language Development -play with language- toddlers will enjoy playing with language because, in doing so, they feel like they’re in control. Play is their “Playground” for experimenting/ trying out new words and coming to understand syllables, sounds, and grammatical structure. Toddlers depend on their oral language to gain meaning from books as they internalize the structure and meaning of language. Literacy development- listening to stories, recognizing words, and scribbling are truly the building blocks for language and literacy development. Books with photos of familiar objects like balls and bottles. Books about counting, the alphabet, shapes, or sizes will help the toddler develop their language and literacy skills. Cognitive Development- blocks provide the toddler with the chance to explore through his senses and gain spatial awareness abilities. Blocks provide language and vocabulary development and build basic math skills. The movements also set the stage for later physical and develop coordination and balance that they will need for walking, running and other later motor skills. (Word count
