Domains of Development and characteristics of
children
THE EARLY
CHILDHOOD

GROSS
EMOTIONAL
SOCIAL
& PERSONAL
• Energetic, curious and eager to learn
• Creative and imaginative
• Attention span is 7 to 15 minutes.
• Thinking is perception bond and egocentric.
Vocabulary limited and
comprehension not adequate
• Fine muscle
• co ordination needs
strengthening.
• These skills are not sufficiently developed.
• Need one to one adult attention.
• Unique and have different styles of
learning.
Bones and muscles are in the
process of development.
Bones in children are more porous than adults.
A child's bones are more elastic.
Bones in children permit a greater degree of deformation
before they break.
THE BRAIN
• In a brain, there are millions of neurons, which form the electrical
connections that let us think.
• These cells send their signals through axons .
• Thicker the myelin sheath, quicker are the connections.
Even before your child is born, all the
nerve cells she will ever possess have
been formed.
These nerve cells are like a mass of
unconnected electrical wires. From the
time your child is born, her brain will
constantly strive to connect the wires
Healthy curiosity and
good language skills in
the early years will lay
the foundation for
learning.
The more a child
explores and is exposed
to new situations, the
more that will matter to
her, and the more she
will want to learn.
A POSITIVE CIRCLE
But what makes the wires connect and what does
the connection mean to a growing child?
Every time a child -
 is held,
 Is talked to
 Is read to
Every time a child -
 sings and dances
 or plays with a toy
Every time a child –
 has good nutrition
 has care and unconditional love
The brain develops
OPTIMUM BRAIN DEVELOPMENT COMPARED TO A
WELL DESIGNED KOLAM
But what prevents the wire connection and what does
this mean to a growing child?
• Every time you -
• Scold a child
• Hit or slap a child
• List weak points of the child
• Put undue pressure on the child
• Make the child do things that her body is
not ready to do.
The brains stops growing

TEACHERS

Some parents and educators believe that a child is like a huge
container. To insure the child's success, they think it their job to
fill it up with as much information as possible, as quickly as
possible. This misconception is damaging the brilliance of
millions of our youth."
