I honestly could not say enough about this topic, It is so crucial that kids get as much oppurtunity for development as humanly possible. We tell K all the time, touch everything feel and see everything you can as it adds to her experience and lessens her fear of being overstimulated from not understanding something. Such a wonderful article. Hope you don’t mind reblogged so others could read as well! Thank you!!
I’m so glad you re-blogged. I started this site as an informational site for other parents like me. (Trust me, it’s not for the money!) I agree that part of teaching kids to not get overstimulated is to experience things so when they encounter them again they can handle them better.
