Here are a few things parents can do to encourage early learning in their children:

• Encourage them to try new things and tell them you believe in him or her often.

• Talk, sing, play, and read with your children as much as you can.

• Limit screen time. Children need to hear and talk to adults to build their language skills.

• Take an interest in how your child is doing at school, so he or she will believe that learning is important.

Some developmental milestones to remember include holding their head steady while sitting and recognizing faces. Early education programs encourage your children to meet these milestones.

According to Maria Montessori, a child's mind is like a sponge during early development. She calls this a child's absorbent mind. At this stage, children have the unique ability to absorb information and store it at a surprisingly fast rate. They will learn many new things as they explore their environment and the world around them. Early education programs and daycares promote children's early development through their absorbent minds.

Nowadays, it is easier for children to have access to screens. However, this can affect their early childhood development. While they may be captivated by the content on screens, children under the age of 2 don’t understand or learn anything from them.

Children learn language and other skills best when engaging with adults and other children who talk and play with them. Children also need to be able to observe the activities in their environment which they cannot do when they are constantly staring at a screen.

While gardening is a great way to keep your child physically active, it is also a great way for them to learn other things such as responsibility, reasoning, discovery, creativity, and nutrition.

The world faces various health issues such as mental health, child care, and climate change. On this day, let us help spread awareness for these issues by helping our children establish healthy habits.

As their food preferences are yet to mature, it is common for preschoolers to be picky eaters. Making sure they have the proper nutrition can be an issue. Here are some tips when dealing with picky eaters:

• Have them eat meals and snacks at consistent times in the day.

• Don’t encourage the behavior by preparing a separate meal when they reject the original one.

• Make meals fun with brightly colored food and their favorite dips or sauces.

• Involve them in grocery shopping and meal preparation.

• Set a good example by eating a variety of healthy food.

Craft supplies are not limited to expensive markers, pens, and colorful paper. You and your kids can make creative crafts from things in the household such as used toilet paper rolls, egg cartons, sliced fruits, etc.

Preschoolers need 10 to 13 hours of sleep daily. This includes a daytime nap. It helps to establish a regular sleep routine to help ensure that they are getting enough sleep daily.

Establishing healthy eating habits at a young age helps your child maintain a healthy weight and encourages them to maintain this healthy lifestyle to their adulthood. Here are some ways to encourage these habits:

• Eat meals together as often as possible.

• Involve them in grocery shopping and meal preparations.

• Plan healthy snacks.

• Discourage eating meals while watching TV.

• Encourage them to drink more water.

Giving your child too much sugar causes a rapid increase and decrease in blood sugar that leads to mood changes. Regular excessive sugar intake can also cause obesity and make them prone to chronic diseases.

Setting up a reward system such as a simple sticker reward chart is a great way to reinforce good behavior in children. Make sure to track one behavior at a time and to immediately reward the desired behavior.

Having a consistent bedtime routine helps establish good sleeping habits and ensures that your child is getting enough sleep. Here are some things you could include in your child’s bedtime checklist:

• Their comfy pajamas
