Cognitive development in children:

Cognitive Development Theory:
There are many cognitive development theories put forward by various psychologists. But, one theory that has made a tremendous contribution to the field of psychology and education is Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, through his scientific observation of children in the natural environment, found out a pattern of cognitive development in children.

He observed many children, including his own, to study how the intellectual development in children takes place. He conducted various research studies and experiments. He observed that babies are aware of their surroundings and they are always trying to explore their environment.

Babies sure take up a lot of time. There’s the feeding, the clothing, the rocking, the consoling. They’re also incredibly messy. Still, you probably wouldn’t dream of bringing harsh cleaners into your baby’s nursery, or cleaning the assorted toys, pacifiers, and hygiene products with them. Our green cleaning kit is great for keeping most of baby’s things clean, sanitary, and smelling fresh.

Baking soda is the star of the show when it comes to the general cleaning of your children’s belongings.

Safely clean the crib and baby mattress by wiping them down with a damp sponge sprinkled with baking soda. Changing tables and playpens are more great places to use baking soda. Be sure to rinse thoroughly!

For green cleanups on the go, mix up a baking soda and water solution in a small, closeable spray bottle. Take this bottle with you on outings and you’ll be ready for nearly anything.

At first, it’s best to wipe the surfaces of the teeth with a clean face washer every day.

You have been told countless times, undoubtedly, that babies are messy eaters because they explore the environment with all of their senses. Also without a doubt, no one has ever told you how to clean him up afterward, particularly if he doesn’t want to be cleaned up.

You can always gather him into a football hold, squalling and fighting, and just wipe the crusts and rinds away with a washcloth at the sink.

This way is more fun: Hold out a squirt bottle and spray the sweet potatoes away. Do this on his face (protecting his eyes with your hand, of course) and hands. Beware: He may have so much fun with this that he will splash his food around just to get squirted.

If that happens, just go back to using the quarterback hold in the sink.

Clean them IMMEDIATELY after use so no food gets stuck in the mesh. Run water over the bag to clean – if needed use a small brush (like toothbrush) to brush the mesh to get food out.

WHAT HAPPENS TO PREMATURE BABIES?

Doctors today talk more of pre-term babies (ones born before 38 weeks) than premature babies.

Prematurity is defined by weight; a baby under 2-5 kilogrammes (5 1/2 pounds) is treated as premature whatever the length of the pregnancy which produced him. However the point must be made that length of pregnancy is most important – a baby who is small but was in the uterus for the full term is less of a worry to the doctors than a bigger one born before term.

The causes of pre-term births are many, and not always understood. Twins (and triplets or more) are usually pre-term. Preeclampsia can lead to a pre-term baby as can problems of the placenta during development. If the placenta lies between the baby and the opening of the birth canal, this means delivery is very difficult – the condition is called placenta praevia – and in a few cases the placenta may separate from the wall of the uterus. In this case early caesarian section may be needed and so the baby may be pre-term. Other causes may include illness in the mother,such as anaemia, or fibroids in the uterus.

If it is possible to delay a pre-term birth, the doctors will do so – with bed-rest and sedation and in a few cases with hormone treatment, and sometimes with alcohol, given in an intravenous drip. In other cases it is not possible to do this, and in some, of course, the pre-term delivery is deliberate, for example in severe pre-eclampsia.
