ROLE OF A PARENT IN COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD
Cognitive development in babies is an exiting process. From birth, babies begin to understand the world around them through sensory experiences and interactions.
1. *Recognizing faces and voices*: Babies as young as a few months old can recognize familiar faces and voices.
2. *Object permanence*: Around 6-9 months, babies understand that objects continue to exist even when out of sight.
3. *Problem-solving*: Babies start to develop problem-solving skills through experimentation and exploration.
4. *Imitation*: Babies learn by imitating others, which helps develop their cognitive and social skills.
5. *Memory*: Babies start to develop memory skills, recognizing familiar objects and events.
Parents and caregivers can support cognitive development in babies by:
1. *Engaging in interactive play*
2. *Reading and storytelling*
3. *Singing songs and reciting nursery rhymes*
4. *Providing sensory experiences*
5. *Responding to baby's cues and coos*
These interactions help stimulate baby's brain development and lay the foundation for future cognitive abilities.
