The 4 fundamental building blocks for children’s development are crucial for well-rounded and healthy growth:
- Cognitive Pillar – Nurturing the Thinking Mind: Cognitive development is at the heart of a well-balanced, whole-child approach. This pillar focuses on cultivating a child’s thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills and learning styles.
- Social Building Block- Building Heartfelt Connections: Social development is a cornerstone in fostering a well-rounded child. This pillar is all about learning to interact meaningfully with peers, family, and educators. Children learn to navigate social norms, develop empathy, and form lasting friendships through child-centred play and group activities like team sports and family engagements.
- Emotional Building Block – Cultivating Emotional Intelligence: Fundamentally, this involves understanding and managing a wide range of emotions and recognizing these feelings in ourselves and others. But pushes deeper into the subconscious and how we learn, process, and perceive the emotions around us. The postural stance, emotional muscle memory, and energetic emotions layer are also important. Our approach includes child-focused strategies like open discussions about emotions, play-based therapy when required, and activities entrenched in patience and self-control. These are vital in helping children express themselves healthily and cope with various emotional challenges while opening their energy up to change.
- Physical Building Block – Strengthening the Body: This pillar emphasises developing fine and gross motor skills through active, playful engagement, specific movement and physical muscle release. All forms of joy in the movement are supported, as well as focusing on individual nutritional building blocks, physical alignment and biochemical pathways while working integratively with external healthcare support.
Each of these building blocks is interrelated and contributes to the overall well-being and holistic development of a child. It’s important to provide opportunities and environments that support growth in all these areas. Here, the stages are supported separately from age.
