Activities to Promote Healthy Development
By :
Boris Gindis, Ph.D.
These activities are entertaining for a whole family and promote cognitive abilities of a newly adopted child. They also set the stage for developing mutual attachment in the family through shared fun and play. The descriptions of activities offer general ideas, and the parents should feel free to make necessary adjustments. It’s important to understand that a child adopted from an overseas orphanage can, for example, be seven years old according to the birth certificate, but developmentally (emotionally and cognitively) is very likely two or three years younger. Thus, the suggested sets of activities differ mostly by the goal parents may have in mind, rather then by child’s age.

Child Toys Help The Creative and Imaginative Side of Children and Young Ones
By :
Paul zayer
Ask any young mother, and she will tell you the joys of motherhood: Watching them grow, learn through play, and observing developmental milestones are some of the rewards of parenthood. These milestones do not just happen. They're carefully developed and cultivated. For kids, learning through play ensures that basic cognitive abilities take effect. Newborn babies have the classic baby toys like rattles, stuffed animals and mobiles. Very young children have slightly more sophisticated toys that focus on logical reasoning. Pre-school-age kid toys aim to nurture the imaginative and creative side of the kid. As the child is growing up, he will pass through all of those stages of development, so its best to have age appropriate kid toys on hand that will grow with him.
