How to help children’s development through play (part 1)

Play provides opportunities for children to develop speech and language abilities and also to practice listening. Parents can help baby’s development through play together.

Whether their play is companion-based with a sibling, peer, or parent, or solo play using imagination, children talk and listen while playing. It can be exciting to hear your child sitting in the family room interacting with toys and hearing her play one character, then another, as the toys interact. It can be invigorating to watch your son dress up as a superhero and save the bath toys from the evil emperor.

Play helps with relationships

Play promotes social interaction and social skills and competence. Children, who play, both with parents and peers, learn how relationships work through their play experiences. The number of friendships and the quality of their friendships will also usually increase as play becomes more prevalent.

Play boosts cognitive development

Imaginative play and role-playing are particularly powerful kinds of play that help the brain develop in more functional and positive ways. Children who engage in these kinds of play have a more sophisticated level of interaction with others and with their environment than those who do not. This is particularly evident in studies of children who watch high levels of television in comparison to children who spend more time playing.

Some clever ways to clean out of old children smocked clothing

Babies grow so fast. It seems you no sooner buy them children smocked clothing and they've already grown out of them. But when it comes time to clean out old children smocked clothing, you might be wondering what's worth saving, what's worth trying to consign, and what should be donated or tossed.

Deal with Stains

Pull out any piece of smocked baby clothing that is stained. There is no point in saving stained baby clothes as they only take up space, which is a precious commodity in many closets. You can do several different things with stained baby clothes including using them as rags around the house or if the smocked baby outfit has great significance to you, check out our quilting guide's easy quilt making instructions and make a small memory quilt. This is a great way to re-purpose old smocked baby clothing.

Decide what to save

The next pile of children smocked clothing should be anything you would like to save. If you've already determined you'll be having more children, save any basics you can. You should also save any piece of smocked baby clothing that carries sentimental value, such as the outfit your baby wore home, or a Christening gown; preserved correctly, these special baby clothes will last for years to come.

However, avoid the urge to save everything in the hopes of saving some money down the road. At some point, the savings in money is outweighed by the hassle of storing and possibly moving baby clothes.
