Child Development?

Two Charts of intellectual development.

These charts will give you guidelines and benchmarks for your child’s progress, and it is important you fully appreciate that your children MUST NOT be pushed beyond their abilities and capacities just to keep up with what other parents might be doing to their children…much to the detriment of those children.

This chart has been prepared out of the research and longitudinal studies of preschool children. It itemizes the areas of development, which are most relevant to the child’s readiness for the classroom tasks that will have to be faced at the age of five. Each of the areas detailed are known to be almost directly significant to the inspection, discrimination and thinking abilities with which the child can successfully approach the myriad of printed pages in the academic programmes. It is important to realize the abilities described are those every child must achieve in developmental order and sequential continuity. It is always the same story…. The child must learn to walk before he can learn to run. These are the preparatory walking in anticipation of academic running. Each level of development MUST be fully explored and practiced, and it is now the parent’s responsibility to see that these abilities are as fully achieved as possible by every child. Please do NOT overlook, or just casually attend to every item presented on this chart.
