The more they play, the more they become aware of their environment. At this stage, parents can help their children’s learning process through games that can be done simply by showing or holding out a toy for the child to reach out and grasp. This helps the child to develop and control his motor responses, sensory impressions, and physical motions.

Early childhood refers to the first two to seven years in the lifespan of a child. At these ages, children show an increased ability to assimilate new pieces of information from which the foundation of conceptual thinking is laid.
