There are four main aspects of children development which grow and develop rapidly in their first five years.

❤️ Cognitive Skills Development (Intellectual)

💛 Motor Skills Development (Physical)

💚 Communication and Language Development, and

💙 Social and Emotional Development

Motor skills development is the physical growth relates to strengthening the bones, muscles and ability to move and touch, which categorised to two types; gross motor and fine motor.

Gross motor skills usually refers to physical skills which involved muscles and large body movements on the entire body.  This skill enables children to hold up their heads, shoulders, arms, legs, where they use to sit and crawl, and eventually play, walk, run, jump, etc.

On the other hand, fine motor skills is crucial in engaging smaller movements, normally involving hands, wrists, fingers, feet, toes, lips and tongue. Fine motor skills are different than gross motor skills which require less precision to accomplish.

A thorough understanding by parents on child skills development especially during early years for me is a very crucial. This is to ensure our children grow happily and healthily. One of the skills to be developed is cognitive or intellectual skills development.

What is Cognitive Skills Development?

Cognitive skills development is the constructive of thought processes such as learning, remembering, problem solving and decision-making progressively starting from childhood all the way till we grown up.
