This is the benefit of parents accompanying children to play
Jakarta. Playing is a fun activity for children. When playing, parents should also be involved.
There are many benefits that can be obtained by playing for child development.
Psychologist Rosalina Verauli revealed that playing and exploring that children and their parents do can improve cognitive and language skills in children.
“Interaction with parents can optimize growth and development,” explained Vera in a BebeExplora discussion at Gandaria City, Jakarta, Saturday (19/9/2015).
Vera said, when interacting with children, parents must adjust their understanding to what the child thinks and support positive activities that the child wants to do. For example, parents invite children to sing.
When children sing with rudimentary lyrics, parents can complement.
Then when the child succeeds in doing it, give appreciation such as applause.
“The child’s emotions are positive. The child happy. Children become confident. When confident, children grow well socially, “explained Vera.
An example is the BebeExplora arena in Gandaria City which facilitates parents, especially mothers, to play with their children.
There is a game together complement puzzle which can help improve children’s cognitive abilities.
There is also playing pretend as an adventurer to train children’s emotional abilities as well as train independence and abilities as individuals.
BebeExplora is an arena for children to freely explore with educational games for children over 2 years of age.
Marketing Manager of Bebelac, Ade Umiyana Savitri, revealed that there are 15 kinds of educational games in an arena covering an area of 526 square meters, such as Fun Race, Fruit Fiesta, and Flying Fox.
According to Ade, these games can hone children’s cognitive abilities, train their comprehension, thinking skills, hone creativity, and social skills.
