Cognitive Skills

Let's try it.....

By 3 years, your child

Has trouble copying a circle
Does not become involved in "pretend" or "make-believe" play
Shows limited interest in toys

By 4 years, your child

Shows no interest in interactive games
Cannot copy a circle

By 5 years, your child

Is easily distracted
Is unable to concentrate on a single activity for more than five minutes

Problems with thinking and cognitive skills may occur due to genetic defects, environmental factors, disease, prematurity, nervous system abnormalities, oxygen deprivation during childbirth, and even accidents.

What to look for....

1. Trace your hand on the back of coloring page

2. Thinking back to coloring the page with crayons, did you become easily distracted or uninterested?
