INTELLECTUAL NECESSITIES:AGES 4-6

EVERYDAY LEARNING OPPURTUNITIES

• Children ages 4-6 learn from a variety of experiences.
• For them to be most effective, parents need to share the experiences with their child.
• There are several ways to help your child have learning experiences.

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

• These are very important in learning.
• Trips in the car can allow children to read maps to locate where they are going.
• Parents can ask their child what they are experiencing during trips which helps the child be attentive.
• Walking outside can help children learn to observe mother nature and all aspects of it.
• This stimulates their brain which is important to intellectual development.

HOUSEHOLD TASKS

• Household tasks are one of the best ways to teach your child responsibility.
• These chores can help children know how to function in everyday life once they reach adulthood.
• Children will eventually develop a sense of independence and maturity that goes along with taking care of a home.
• Doing these activities together can help develop an increasing bond within the parent-child relationship.

ASKING FOR ADVICE

• Parents can uplift their child by asking for their own opinions.
• This makes them feel valued within the confines of s family environment.
• A child's self-esteem can progress a long way just from this alone.

EXPLAIN: WHY DO THINGS WORK?

• Explaining the mysteries of everyday life to an inexperienced newborn can stimulate their brains.
• Suggesting how to do something can set a standard for trust from a child to a parent.
• Children have a tendency to follow what works first, so parents must benefit from this and show them the right way to do things.

CLOSING

• Intellectual necessites are important, but we must know what they are.
• Not everything is reading and writing, but the majority is experiencing every aspect of life.
• This will make them the most successful.
