Primary Schoolers Intellectual Development

Primary Schoolers Intellectual Development

• Children learn all the time.
• They are able to remember rules and information and use this information when it's needed.
• They like to connect what they know with new things. They can come up with their own ideas and reasons about how the world works if they are encouraged but may not always get it right.
• Children this age like to solve problems. They are not yet ready to do everything in their heads. They learn by doing and thinking.
• At this age children enjoy games like scrabble and yhatzee which let them practice what they know. They are fascinated with science experiments. They need to see the process of how to do something from beginning to end. However they'll probably want to begin before they have all the instructions and will need an adult to help them.
• Children develop differences and special interests at this time. They may have a craze for a certain topic, like dinosaurs.
• If you are worried about your child's intellectual development speak to your child's teacher.
