"Does modernization affect children's cognitive development?"
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2009-11/sfri-dma110609.php
Various factors can influence every aspect child development, including of physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and personality development. All those individuals and groups that the child comes into contact with, for example family members and peer groups can influence how children think, socialize, and become self-aware. Nutrition, medical care, and environmental hazards in the air and water can all affect the growth of the body and mind. The most important influence comes from the children themselves, which significantly during play and can influence their understanding of their experiences, how they respond to the people around them, choose activities, friends, and interests.
After years of parenting I have found myself reflecting back over time, wishing "If I could do it over again I would do a better job". A sentiment that I can guarantee is shared by many parents. If only I had the experience, wisdom or resources earlier, then perhaps I could have given my child a better start. If you are fortunate to have more than one child, then that experience gained can be utilised, adapted ( after all no two child is the same ) and applied.One of the goals of this and my associated articles is to try and provide some practical guidance for those that care for children. Through this guidance it may be possible for the carer to support the healthy growth of the child. For example parents can provide better opportunities for intellectual stimulation or provide opportunities for the physical development through simple and fun exercises. This doesn't have to be rocket science, most is common sense and Child Development Made Simple is possible.
