It’s time to talk about Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder– a disorder becoming more and more prevalent among children today.
Attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are both disorders that affect one's ability to focus.
however, there are slight differences between ADD and ADHD.
Separation anxiety is brought on when your little one doesn't feel safe.
Any event that might have made your child uneasy, whether minor or traumatic, can cause separation anxiety disorders in children.
Some parents will immediately recognise the cause of this uneasiness, in other cases, it won't be so obvious.
The new year has started and healthy living is on everyone's agenda after the holiday season.
With healthy living in mind for your children, we at Kay-Dee Educare in Mowbray think your child's lunchbox is a great place to start.
As the year ends and we all prepare to take a small break its time to reflect on 2016.
This year has been a long and prosperous one for Kay-Dee Edu-Care Centre Mowbray, it has seen us go from strength to strength and with the end of the year in sight we are feeling immensely satisfied with our accomplishments.
Finding an aftercare school that understands the needs of your family, can make a huge difference when it comes to managing work demands and the general stresses of life.
Good after school care should also provide a secure environment, one where children are given the freedom to be creative, while offering them a structure perfect for early childhood development.
Parents often choose to put their babies in daycare / creche once they resume work. This is mostly because a crèche offers a more formal and structured environment than that of an at-home nanny or a relative.
But with so many daycare centres out there, most parents are left wondering which centre is right for their bundle of joy?
There is no doubt that extra-mural activities such as sports and club activities, teach children important life lessons.
Extra-mural activities also have health benefits because kids playing sports are more active, they develop important muscle groups, and they spend more time out of doors, which in turn encourages more creativity.
When a child is exposed to a variety of extramural activities, they begin to develop various skills and understandings, including vital life skills such as learning to swim or how to catch a ball.
Experience has shown us that a person’s life; their successes, health and emotional well-being have their roots embedded deeply in early childhood development. We know that if we get it right in the early years, we can expect our little ones to thrive throughout school and their adult lives.
Nature, in other words genetics, nurture, and the environment that we provide for our children, influence a child's development. A child’s early childhood environments and the appropriate experiences are crucial to the way each child’s brain structure develops.
It’s been a rather long week working overtime and you still need to find a Kids Party Venue for your child’s birthday party. No one relishes the mess or the organisation that goes into these important childhood events. Admittedly, you aren’t the best birthday cake baker, you don’t have the latest party games stocked and your back garden, if you have one, it just isn’t big enough.
