Supporting child development

Every child is unique and develops at their own pace. It is important to understand that not all abilities are present in all children at the same time. Every child has individual strengths and weaknesses, influenced by various factors such as genetic predisposition, social environment, and personal interests. Some children learn to speak early and have a large vocabulary, while others need more time to develop their language skills. There are also differences in motor development. Some children already have good hand and finger dexterity at the age of five, while others need more time to improve their fine motor skills. Avoid comparisons with other children and give your child enough freedom to unfold at their own pace. A child's development is a continuous process that extends throughout childhood. By supporting and encouraging your child at all times, you promote the holistic development of your child. The support activities in the following areas offer you suggestions to support the development of children aged 3 to 6 years.
