An infant or toddler uses their five senses in order to learn about the world around them. When we watch a young child playing with their toys or on the playground, we are watching them while hard at work. They are working hard to categorize the new sights, sounds, textures, smells, and even tastes that they are experiencing around them. In other words, their play is their work. Playtime that utilizes items that can stimulate one or more of the five senses is called sensory play. This is extremely important in any youngster's life because it enhances their curiosity to learn more and make associations with things previously learned. It also creates within a child an enthusiasm for learning and experiencing life. This is a precious gift for any parent or educator to give a child- and it all starts at such a young age. The blossoming of a young mind occurs as their parents and educators assist in the learning process by taking an active role to sustain their sensory play. Sensory play can be likened to the adult world in the following example. It is like when you go to take a big sip of water from a mug. You begin sipping from the straw only to realize that what you just drank wasn't...more

Children often rely on the adults in their lives to help take care of them and teach them healthy habits. When a child gets sick, parents will often take the child to the doctor for an exam. Parents also take their child to the doctor for regular checkups to make sure that they are as healthy as they can be. When children develop certain health problems outside of regular colds and illnesses, parents will then take them to see a specialist. For example, if your child develops a rash, you might take him or her to see a dermatologist instead of your family doctor. The same is true for young children who develop farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism at an early age. In order to get a proper diagnosis and receive proper treatment, you need to take your child to an eye doctor. In fact, most optometrists recommend regular eye exams for children. Even if your child has perfect 20/20 vision, it's still important to take them to the eye doctor every year for an exam. Otherwise, your child may experience changes in his or her vision without your knowledge. He or she could start struggling in school or start having little accidents as a result of poor vision.It's easy to understand...more
