Emotional Intelligence Games For Children aged 0 to 3 Years

Up to two years, babies have the opportunity to build the neural circuits that determine their natural temperament and way of dealing with different situations that are submitted throughout his life. It is therefore essential, surround them with experiences that help develop intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence, primarily through play activities. In this article, we present some examples.

Games to stimulate interpersonal intelligence

One of the most enjoyable games for children at this age, are playing games, so we will play to imitate each other in the classroom. We can only mimic facial movements or imitate or play using the entire body. We can also play sounds of animals after a partner has done.

Another interesting game is to place all the photos of children on the floor of the room and ask each one to help us seek another of his colleagues, in this way, we will help you become familiar with their classmates and facilitate the development of the habit of paying attention to detail characteristic of the faces of other people, enhancing their ability to communicate nonverbally.

Something fun is to play to recreate social scenes. At this age, children are not yet able to play with other children, but with them. But one way of helping them to come and cooperate with peers is to recreate situations they see on a small fragment of a children's program, such as Pocoyo.

It is simply leaving the reach of children or similar materials to those who used the children's program characters to play with other characters and invite them to play with peers. So be ready to play with others, and thus to be more social.

Games to stimulate intrapersonal intelligence

A fun way to help the child develop self-awareness is playing a mirror face. We can put toys with suction cups on the surface of a wall with mirrors so that we may prepare a separate or non-reflective area, for example hiding behind a curtain.

A very fun game at this age can be presenting challenges to small children in the class of motor skills, so we encourage them to lie on a mat from a given height, with or without help. For children who demonstrate behaviors of fear, we will post "crutches" as steps, pads or more "accompany" the action of jumping. This activity, which is to help them get better acquainted with the challenges and encourages them to face new challenges.

Emotional intelligence is also developed in house

Not only is this statement true, but according to most research in evolutionary psychology, are the parents and especially mothers, those most responsible for building emotional intelligence of their children, and do so primarily through dialogue tonic.

Tonic dialogue is characteristic rhythmic pattern, both physical and verbal, using mothers and their babies from the moment they are born. It features sharp sounds, soft, tickle many funny faces and exaggerated.

Children who set a positive tone communication with his mother, have a secure attachment, children are very open and communicative. By contrast, children whose mothers are less playful or communication, are more fearful, withdrawn and uncommunicative.

Therefore, one way to ensure optimal development of emotional intelligence is to invite moms and dads to do many, many cuddle their children, spend time just looking and playing to imitate the smile, tickle or perform gentle massage with soft materials such as balls soft.

As you may have noticed, is very easy to develop intra-and interpersonal intelligence with a little planning, both at home and in the classroom. But the key is to practice hard every day, especially before age two. So, after this age, it will be easier to educate children, they will be more prosocial and be more sure of themselves.
