Assisting child development at home
Currently
child
development is a major talking point. Child development seems
to be going backwards with teachers reporting that
children are more hyperactive and with worse movement skills
when they enter nursery.
At Mentis XL we believe that child development
should start well before starting school and to help child
development at home, have produced a
programme for parents of young children.
How our child development programme helps
preschool children
Our programme for child development is not based on reading, writing
or arithmetic. Instead a structured series of activities has
been developed to encourage movement skills, thinking skills,
social skills in children aged three to five.
Recent research shows that more than half
children entering education for the first time - either at
nursery or reception, are lacking in movement skills. We
believe that movement is the first language children learn and
that failure to develop these skills can hinder their
neurological progress.
On our website is information relating to the
CDP and a sample video (of differing qualities depending on
your connection) showing the type of exercises we
are trying to encourage parents to try.
