Do not be a child psychiatrist…! Jeux d’enfants

I am not a child psychiatrist, but I always observe what is going on around me … I have noticed that the manual movement of many of our children has a serious tendency to retreat. Several articles  report that regularly. For example: the decline in the quality of children’s writing. It is not by manipulating video game controllers, playing on tablets or staying in front of uninteresting screens that they reinforce their manual gymnastics. Jeux d’enfants

The paper model can, for its part, remedy it. Not only will she work on manual agility, but on a lot of other things, especially if parents share this occupation.

5 good reasons to offer manual activities to your child

jeux d'enfants; papercaraft; paper model; maquette en papier; maquette en carton

Do a manual activity to develop creativity

To create, to make, to be guided by his imagination, to allow the child to know this sensation of accomplishment from the youngest age. Creativity makes you feel full. Full of potential that only needs to be conquered, approached but never tamed. It is opening a window on infinity. By absorbing this freedom, the child will be able to flourish and build itself serenely.

Help with concentration

Working with the hand and mind simultaneously allows the child to fully return to a state of concentration. This concentration will allow the child to pose and will help him to conduct an inner reflection.

Memorize and Understand

Manual activities can be carried out for pedagogical purposes. Draw a flower or tree, model a snail or a hedgehog. All the means that will allow the child to inject things into his mind, to represent concretely the idea that he makes of them.

And as we have seen a little earlier, all this work will leave a trace to the child. A trace of his “work”. Even if this is not the primary interest, it is a way for him to appreciate his own evolution by contemplating the work already done. He will then be able to withdraw from valorization by observing the refinement and the precision of his works over time

Making sensory discoveries

The variety of supports and tools that can be used to carry out manual activities is such that the possibility of making sensory discoveries is immense. Provide the child with different mixing media so that he may imbibe textures, offer him different drawing tools so that he appreciates the renderings. All this with the aim of appropriating techniques, ways of doing, feeling, feeling and appreciating. It is also learning how to set up different working techniques depending on the medium used.

Manage the emotions.

Manual activities are often an outlet for the emotional “overflow” of the child. The manual activities channel the energy through the discharge and the feeling of escape that they provide and lead to a return to calm by the concentration that they require.
