Children valuable life skills and doing puzzles Revealed

Puzzle toys have long been preferred learning. Parents often underestimate the value of riddles and their role in promoting the capacity of basic education is a child. putting together a puzzle, the hand-eye coordination skills of a child through sharp as any being processed magical "space suit" in right of his hitting form. puzzle promote cognitive development, such as memory, problem solving and decision as skills. Iftogether with others to promote social interaction puzzle helps to develop the social skills of a child. The educational value of a puzzle does not stop with basic educational skills, puzzles also teach techniques such as patience, perseverance and self-esteem, for example. The attitude with which the child makes a puzzle, a small display and reflection, as they can and they relate to life as they mature.

Puzzles teach patience, patience. As definedin the Encarta Dictionary: "Patience is the ability to wait without being upset or angry and to stay calm in the face of difficulties." The concept of waiting is difficult for a child. With a puzzle as an example, we can handle our children the importance of patience, every piece in place, sometimes easily, sometimes by trial and error. When his patience is exercised, you will begin to understand that with every little 'patience and he will eventually adaptThe desired result is achieved by creating its reward at the end. Life (and puzzles), not the instant gratification "I want it now, I have it now," as the world's understanding of a child. The award is the result of delayed gratification. As adults we realize the benefits of working toward a goal. We learn that ethics and to achieve this over time, hard work and perseverance. As a result, you get the satisfaction of the performance, the reward isitself. Bring your child to compare the riddle of life - how often do things that make no sense if not all the facts (pieces)? We learn through patience that each piece image with the entire contribution or offer variable appearance at all. Puzzles help children understand that when all the facts (pieces), organized and resolved to put together not able to see mystery its completionTo see the whole picture.

Persistence: a different life skills children learn the puzzle is the persistence. This means that a permanent or persistent problems continue despite difficulties or obstacles. It 'difficult for children to make progress in the face of obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles can hinder a child's self-esteem and value that has to give life itself. promoted the example of a puzzle and adults, children learn that obstacles should not havenegative impact on a job or life. Children learn with perseverance to achieve goals and make up to support projects in order to reap their reward, and eventually you'll see the whole picture. With a puzzle, you can teach your child to take the time to think about color, shape and form as it relates to a room, and how each piece can be placed in the correct position by trial and error. With logical thinking and problem solving skills, ask your child to tell how the pieces of the puzzlethe whole picture.

Just as a piece of the puzzle, children can learn their individual contribution to life brings its own reward, because they produce each piece of the puzzle the whole picture.

An Adventure Story

The other day while trying to make sense of the world, specifically my own, a client was telling me about a charity Christmas party- having lots of toys left over he did not know what to do. His friend suggested he take them to an orphanage where he knows the children are in desperate need of love and toys. On a normal Christmas day he and his wife would run a soup kitchen but decided to visit the orphanage instead. As they arrived 50 wide eyed forgotten orphans dashed to greet them, with only one special teddy bear they asked the "mother" who they should give it to as they didn't want a riot on their hands. She pointed to a room and said "there's a little baby in there who has just been brought in by the police after being found abandoned in a field, I think he needs something to cuddle tonight!"

Shocked and dismayed by the malnourished baby his wife swept the tiny frail body into her arms to hug him and could not let go, a 15 minute deed of goodwill turned into 3 hours, Christmas day turned to a restless night as the abandoned gift of god did not leave their thoughts. When they called the next day to see how he was doing the "mother" suggested they give him a name, St Nic of Santa Claus fame came to mind - So Nicholas it would be.

Nicholas really needed love and help, after visiting the orphanage a couple times they asked if they would be allowed to look after Nicholas at weekends, to take him out on trips and give him the love he so desperately needed. After a few weekends it was getting harder and harder to give Nicholas back on Monday mornings he always became so quiet when they had to say goodbye. The wife asked her husband if they might consider adoption, initially he was against it, because of responsibility, financial ability and fear.

God and Nicholas had chosen them, deep down he knew it was gods miracle and will, they became his parents they had fallen in love with him - so Nicholas went home.

Nicholas is now three years old, causes major feuds as all friends and family stand in line to baby sit as much as they possibly can - He touches the soul and heart of everyone and fills their world with delight

The miracle doesn't end there.....

Nicholas was diagnosed with Autism his parents had taken him to a specialist who diagnosed him in about 30 seconds flat. BS they thought - furiously they researched all they could find about Autism believing Nicholas could overcome this 30 second diagnosis. After all the specialists believed he was not 'off the scale Autistic'. Eventually they came across a society based in the U.S., with a representative in Johannesburg, which does not believe Autism exists, instead they believe it is to do with the internal organs.

After numerous tests they also found Nicholas had leaky gut syndrome and Lymes disease (parasitic infectious disease causing disability which is difficult to treat) To repair leaky gut syndrome Nicholas was prescribed various medication and vitamins which takes half an hour every morning to swallow. Wondering what all these pills taste like his father swallowed a couple and promptly threw up, yet Nicholas swallows them with minimal fuss. To treat advanced lymes disease you use a specialized machine which literally shakes the parasite from your blood cells, this takes 2 hours every night, not easy with a 3 year old.

Nicholas now sits and does puzzles like every other 3 year old. For his parents it's like winning the world cup, as lack of concentration is one of his many "problems."

Nicholas' parents joined a group called the smartie kids and found many people in this land of beauty and splendour finding themselves white parents to a black child in a country that was torn apart by racism, hate and apartheid, that is now been torn apart by politicians drunk on power.

As you'd imagine, the father tells the story much better than I have here, requiring days, not a 1 page brief. It is an adventure story, a miracle, a gift, a story worth telling. Which is my point. At the moment, we all confront incredible uncertainty, even chaos in the world economy, in our own markets, and by extension, in our lives and minds. Everyone's world is topsy turvy, our political leaders continue to allow followers their mindless hate rhetoric and the call to "kill" of their political adversaries - while they run the country like a bunch of drunken pirates. You may be tempted to wish for stability and security and predictability, you may loathe the urgent need to creatively reinvent, to zig, to zag you may resent recent investment losses, a loved one or the turmoil and chaos you think your life has become. All that is natural, understandable and shared; some minutes of most days I too indulge in such thoughts, sometimes for way too long. But if sailing was always smooth and a success status quo could be arrived at, each trip boring, each destination de-valued, there'd be a lot fewer great stories. Ultimately, the living of your own great adventure story is its own achievement, success and reward. Enjoy every triumph as you should.
