Introduction
Each child learns in their own way. However, there are specific mental and thinking abilities that almost all children experience at similar ages. These are called cognitive milestones. Tracking them serves no objective of comparison, but rather comprehension, guidance, and support.
In the context of Sunbeam International School ICSE, acknowledging these milestones early helps shape all-rounder learners and confident people.
What Are Cognitive Milestones?
Brain Growth in Stages
Cognitive milestones include skills such as attention, language learning, problem solving, and memory. Each skill grows naturally, as the brain grows.
The learning environment can be developed to stimulate brain growth at any stage.
Examples by Age
- Toddlers may turn to recognize people or objects.
- Preschoolers are bubbling with questions and are reasoning.
- Primary school children are able to learn to think logically and can maintain focus for longer periods of time.
- Teenagers are able to start to analyze, plan, and make decisions.
Why Are Cognitive Milestones Important?
Spotting Delays Early
If a child isn’t reaching certain milestones, then it could probably mean a delay in development. The sooner it is identified, the easier it is to implement support.
We actively train our teachers to identify some of the smaller signs and then provide the support at the right time.
Creating Balanced Growth
Learning is not just about learning from books. It’s about how children think, feel and relate to others. When children reach milestones, they feel more confident, socially active and emotionally aware.
In the curriculum, we also value emotional and creative growth along with academics to make it easy for kids to excel.
Why Are Cognitive Milestones Important?
Support From Parents and Teachers
A child learns best when home and school work in partnership. Simple things like talking, reading, or playing can be so beneficial.
Your child’s teacher will regularly engage with you by sharing valuable insights regarding your child’s learning and development progress.
A Good Learning Environment
As learning is about actually feeling safe, heard, and challenged, your child should learn in a space where they feel comfortable.
