THE BENEFIT PLAY PUZZLE WITH CHILDREN

The kids fun set pieces by pieces of the puzzle. Less than five minutes to form a complete picture of the puzzle already. Once or twice he still wants to do it again. Next time, he would not touch it again.

According to parenting psychologist, children need a new challenge. Because of interesting puzzles, children will be keen to do it. '' Seeing tangible results to master a new skill and build confidence to try the next challenge.''.

Why most children like puzzles? Look at two things. The first, puzzle objectives are clear, create a form. Second, the feedback was immediate: success or failure.

While fiddling with puzzle fun, kids, according to psychologist, unconsciously developed five (5) specific skills. Skills those are useful for him at school and even later adult life.

1. Looking at the similarities

Equating activities help children to see the similarities. This allows them to generalize. When the boy noticed pieces of the puzzle that fits in a certain place or notice that the letters M and m connected, they learn that something can be grouped into categories.

2. Seeing the difference

See the differences including basic cognitive skills. When the child recognizes that the puzzle pieces do not fit or are too big, they're looking at what goes or does not fit into a category. These skills are important when children learn to read later. Moment when he needs to see the differences such as form letters a,d and a, b, i,j and j, i.

3. Sorting

Making the order is not always easy. Small children are just beginning to learn and know that the name day in a week or the pages of the book turns out sequentially. Connect the dots activities are good exercise. If you sort the points according to the sequence of numbers or letters, the image will appear.

4. Remembering

Many puzzles and other activities involving about memory. Complete the puzzle to encourage children to maintain an image in their memory. For example, where it the blue chip should use fills image in the house?

5.  Looking at the pattern

Seeing a pattern to help children predict and anticipate what happens next. The ability to recognize and create patterns is important in mathematics, reading, and science. Games and puzzles to follow repetitive patterns. Repetition can build confidence in children. So children will know what to expect.

Compared to electronic games, puzzle games was ancient. But the puzzle provides the essential skills to prepare children to school and beyond.

However, for the early stages of a child certainly can not be presented with the game just like that. '' The educational puzzle is reinforced when the father mother and son playing together,'' said the psychologist.

So, sit down with your child, enjoy the game.
