MY GRANDDAUGHTER GIVES ME JOY 🤩

Now that my granddaughter is around, I am learning a lot from her every day.

I love observing her, I watched how she plays, what she likes to do and how she interacts with people around her. 

You can learn a lot from kids, by just observing them from afar. 

Today I’m going to be talking about how she interprets her own worlds through play. 

I don’t know about you but I only heard about Paw Patrol when my granddaughter came to stay with us. 

She loves everything that has PAW Patrol on it; from toys down to her clothing 😁

She also like talking about them, as if they were her real friend, ( of course in her own mind they are) 

Athena knows all their names, and has a Paw patrol coloring book too 📕 

What I found fascinating is how she picked the correct coloring pencils for each characters when colouring 😁

So why am I sharing this

Studies show that, when children begin to engage in pretend play from around two years of age,  they often take on the new persona and roles to help them make sense of different aspects of their world or deal with things they are frightened of.

For example; my granddaughter pretends to be super heroes fighting off monsters, because she doesn’t like bad characters in her cartoons. 

She often tells me, “I want to be a superhero when I grow up” ( by the way, did I tell you she is only  3 years old?) 

This is to show that children know more than we think they know!

Dear parents, please be observant and pay attention to your children’s likes and dislikes and plan accordingly. 

I would like to know what your toddlers do for fun 🤩 👇👇

Have an amazing weekend 🥰❤️❤️

P.S: Watch Out for my post tomorrow on- Paying attention to your kids
