From the pre-natal period, birth and onwards, all children go through stages of growth and development. At every stage, children show signs of growth and development in terms of physical, socio-emotional and language. It helps the parents to understand their needs.
A special child needs more care and understanding. We must be more responsive and appreciative of whatever affection the child shows us. Hug and encourage them. Praise and recognize the child achievements no matter what how simple.
Special children have their tantrums. Some children need to be left alone until they are ready to calm down, just make sure they don’t hurt themselves. In terms of growing, developing, and learning, teaches the child with simple commands. Whit in his level of understanding, and if he is able to follow, praise him with a smile, hug and say thank you. Give picture books to look at. Make story telling time a pleasant experience. Let the child feel himself even if messy. Doubt forces him to play with others but do give him opportunities to be with other children. Special child needs more understanding, care and love. It is not their fault why they are born incapable. Unconditional love is what they need.
