Sensitive period for children aged 4 to 5

Children between the ages of 4 and 5 are in the stage where special attention should be paid. If no attention is paid during this stage, it is likely to affect their normal growth and development, and they may also enter a sensitive period. This period also requires great attention, especially language education. After all, educating your own children is actually a very big project. If they are not educated well, it will lead to poor language development.

language

Range: 0 to 6 years. When a baby begins to look at the shape of an adult's mouth when speaking and makes babbling sounds, his language sensitivity period begins. Learning a language is a difficult task for adults, but young children can easily learn their mother tongue because they have a natural sensitivity to language. Therefore, if a child is still slow to speak at around two years old, the child should be taken to the hospital for examination to see if there is any congenital disorder.

Language ability affects children's ability to express themselves. Therefore, parents should talk to their children frequently, tell them stories, or use "rhetorical questions" to strengthen their children's ability to express themselves and lay a good foundation for their future interpersonal relationships.

order

Range: 2 to 4 years. Children need an orderly environment to help them understand things and become familiar with the environment. Once the familiar environment disappears, he will be at a loss. During her observations, Montessori found that children would become afraid, cry, or even lose their temper when they were unable to adapt to the environment. Therefore, determining the "demand for order" is a very obvious sensitivity of young children.

Young children's sensitivity to order is often manifested in their requirements for sequence, living habits, and possessions. Montessori believes that if adults fail to provide an orderly environment, children will "lack a foundation for establishing a perception of various relationships." When children gradually establish an internal order from the environment, intelligence is also gradually constructed.

Sensory

Range: 0 to 6 years. From birth, children use senses such as hearing, vision, taste, and touch to familiarize themselves with the environment and understand things. Before the age of three, children absorb things around them through their subconscious "absorbent mind". Children aged 31 to 6 are more able to analyze and judge things in the environment through their senses. Therefore, Montessori designed many sensory teaching aids, such as. Hearing tubes, tactile boards, etc. are used to sharpen children's senses and guide them to generate their own wisdom.

You can also prepare a variety of sensory teaching materials at home, or randomly guide your children to use their five senses to feel the things around them in life. Especially when children are full of desire to explore, their needs should be met as much as possible as long as they are not dangerous or do not infringe on others' property.
