Games in Early Child Development

In this article I cover a topic about the importance of games in early child development.
It is known that people distribute all their energy conventionally among such areas of life as:

• work (direct action);

• contact with the surrounding world (friendship, communication, love);

• interests (hobbies);

• and the body (aimed at maintaining the beauty of the body).


A game is the dominant activity of a child, in which all the described above areas of activity overlap. In other words, life and play are almost inseparable for the child, but namely a play provides his development.

Milestones of Baby Development

According to the milestones of baby development, a 3 month old baby must be able to reach for the toys hung over him, get a finger in her mouth, to hold a rattle in his hand. A 4 month old baby must consciously reach out for the object he liked, and in a month, he must put a thing from one hand into another one, etc.

Every day the baby’s movements become more precise and skillful, but ... For your baby to develop in accordance with the described rules, you have to help him a little. After all, biology just determines the potential of the child, but he can develop only if he gets appropriate training.
