Intellectual child development is quite a jungle of confuse definitions and psychological jargon when one looks closely at it but the science and medicine behind it has become a necessity of sorts in this day and age. There are many stages when it comes to the intellectual development of a child and this article will discuss a bit about the different areas to look at and how they sometimes differ over the different age ranges in children. This is something all parents need to know about because with this map or even blue print to conventional or even traditional learning progression, they can spot nuances and even anomalies that could be the earmarks of developmental hurdles and disorders like ADHD, dyslexia or even autism.
It is very important because many children in the world today are affected by varying degrees of such developmental disorders and they do not know about it, going through life with learning difficulties. First we take a look at the sensory motor cognitive development stage, which affects all children from the early onsets of infancy all the way till their 2 years old. At this reflexive and what is called ‘circular’ reaction and learning. Children at this age will often use physical associations and react to social stimuli (from their parents) as a form of learning. They should often be interested in new things and stimuli, especially movements, smiling, reaching out to touch people as a form of communication. Often, you can see if there are any problems with their developmental stage of their learning, with conditions like autism and autism spectrum often showing up as a complete reversal of these characteristics. You can easily spot if these conditions and nuero problems are in place as the toddler and infants would be extremely shy and withdrawn, smiling at people much less than normal and even finding solace in the arms of their parents at all times.
At the pre-operational period till their 7 years, this is when speech and other phonically in tune developments should be already at full swing. Forms of language and communication become less centred to themselves and has a social nature about it. He or she will be able to tackle concepts and rationale thought easier. But there may be still a propensity to centre concentration on one feature of an objective while ignoring others. This is where dyslexia and autism or even dyspraxia can appear in forms of speech difficulties, linguistic problems and even reading and writing. At this age, reading and writing should be developing at a progressive pace, and they will spill over to the period of concrete operations when they reach the age just before their teens.
The last stage of child learning should be at the period of formal operations when they finally reach their early teens, which means they can grasp logic and even do simple mathematical algorithms. These are some of the things you should know about when it comes to intellectual child development and also how you can spot early onset of developmental diseases and treat them with appropriate therapy so as to avoid it from becoming too bad.
