Sensitive Period for Order

1/14/2016

Picture
As parents of one to three year olds,  we must keep the developmental needs of our children in mind. At this age communication and fine motor skills are limited, however  these limitations do not inhibit the burgeoning desire for  independence.  So, nature always puts in place a saving grace! Yes, there  is a saving grace.  Children have an inborn sensitive period for order.  At 18 months this sensitive period peaks to  2.5 years and continues until children are 5 years old.  I call it a saving grace because this knowledge alone, if acted upon, can save parents a few tantrums and crying fits. This is 
precisely why I choose to have a designated learning area for Little  and also predictable routines for learning and self care. 

Characteristics of this period:
  • Desire for repetition and consistency
  • Love for established routines
  • Established order in the environment  (a place for everything)
  • Carefully established rules
