Development of senses

Sensory integration of the baby - the development of the child's senses

Proper development of the child is very important for all parents. They make every effort to make the child healthy and happy. Free time is devoted to entertainment and development through play. But most often, parents focus on the development of speech and fine and gross motor skills, because the effect of effort is noticeable here, and the emphasis is on the formation of these basic skills. At the same time, it is often forgotten that the same emphasis as on the development of these basic skills should be placed on the development of the child's senses - touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell. At first, sensory integration may seem a little abstract to parents, but in fact it can be practiced independently at home, playing with the child.

The development of the baby's senses takes place already in the mother's womb, which is why we hear so much about talking to him then. Many mothers pay attention to these aspects during pregnancy, but after the birth of the child they often forget about it. At the same time, sensory integration and sensorimotor skills have a significant impact on the proper development of our child. Both are based on providing him with external tactile and visual stimuli, which are designed to stimulate both the child's senses and fine and gross motor skills, thus accelerating the child's psychomotor maturity.

Sensory integration is becoming more popular, with more and more centers offering it. Parents often choose this solution because they are unsure or don't know how to develop their child's senses. At the same time, the sensory integration of the baby can be easily carried out at home, using things available at home (various oils, spices, textures), but it is also worth buying products from the wide range of the Mental online store, where you can easily find interesting products for independent, home exercises that develop sense organs
