How to play to develop the talents of children

As a new mother, choosing toys for children is one thing quite confusing. First the price of toys that just makes "broke", because if too cheap security is doubtful. Second, different options with a choice of child's mother, a toy that looks interesting, colorful and looks useful, never even touched by his own son. Third, the limited knowledge about the toys that are appropriate to the age of the child so that elections are sometimes not appropriate toys and toys they can not be played or not beneficial to the development of their children. With this in mind, I hope to get answers from the seminar held Vitalac "how to play to develop the talents of children." Two things that became the core of this seminar, namely what is the appropriate toys for each stage of the child's age and the second how do I choose how to play or toys that match interests and develop the talents of children. So what I can?

The first thing to note is that playing a mother is a very important activity for children and is one effective way to stimulate the body and brain development of children. Therefore, it is the right of children to get playing time, either playing alone or accompanied by her parents.
For children under age 3, parents should provide stimulation for all types of intelligence (based on multiple intelligence theory of Howard Gardner). Most parents choose toys that are focused on gross motor alone, or logic alone, while children at the age of the active-active to develop synapsis in the brain and should be given a comprehensive stimulus including fine motor, art, environment, language, intrapersonal, interpersonal , and spatial.
If viewed in more detail, each toy has a specific purpose.

   
1. Gross motor development, ranging from babymat (to practice on his stomach), Babygym (to slap exercise), pull, up and down stairs, bicycles,
   
2. Practicing fine motor and hand / eye coordination, such as crayons, tracing dots on the wire, move the marbles / macaroni / other small objects, a hammer and bench,
   
3. Train of logic, such as sorter (insert appropriate form boxes / cylinders / etc), books that contain counting / recognize the color / size, etc.
   
4. Practicing good oral and written language, such as reading stories, reading cards (cards with pictures and written), listening to different kinds of music, singing
   
5. Practicing the art, such as simple music tool (a small guitar, piano minor), toys with the keys that produce different sounds, dancing, crayons for drawing
   
6. Train interpersonal, such as following the Sunday school, club play, or just play along with kids around the house, dolls,
   
7. Developing a love for the environment, such as playing in the park, maintaining a safe animals (fish, turtles), maintaining a small tree
   
8. Train intrapersonal, like telling his feelings when he was emotional, his ideals
   
9. Spatial skills (see part of one), like a puzzle, camera
So the selection of toys not only from the shape and price alone, .. but also of its function. if you can all types of goals must be met, so that children can develop optimally.
