Your kid is progressing physically, emotionally and socially every single day. She has developed plenty of her skills and is yet to develop many more of them in the coming months. Right kind of activities shall help you understand her growth and development well. You can better understand where all the developments are coming from and where she is heading in the near future.

If you are thinking of the pattern of her development, here you can take a look:

She shall love spending time with herself alone. She shall keep herself engaged with crafts and colours. With increase in her attention span she shall treasure her crafts box now. However, you need to take the pains to ensure all the items are back in the box by the end of the day.

Jigsaws and puzzles shall also be keeping her engaged now. She shall insist on winning and if you are playing with her, make it a point for her to win. Watching TV and computer games shall be her another pass time. Parental advice is necessary here and you need restrict her viewing time.

Your Moody Child

You may find her silent and moody at times. She may also start worrying about wars, illness, and death and think she is not fair enough with her family.

She shall also love to listen to new things from you and explore the world around her. However, she shall gain a better control over her tempers, body and thoughts.

Cognitive Developments

She has now developed a lot more vocabulary than before. You can also find her thoughts reflecting logic and reasons. This shall help her take the right decisions. You can also expect her to say the right date, day and month. With improvement in her cognitive skills, she can now understand similarity between 2 objects and come up with solutions to complex problems. She shall also develop her individual style of learning now.

Emotional and Social Developments

Your 7 years, 10-month-old child shall become defiant at times. She may ask the reasons for her doing something. She shall play on her own if things do not turn out in her favour in a game. It may get difficult for her to get going with her siblings and friends sometimes. Separation anxieties, debates and arguments shall be common at this age. If you find her crying now the reason may be the tension or stresses arising from her inability to accomplish something. You will also find her ashamed of committing a mistake.

She shall appear a chatterbox now and talk all through the day until she is finally sleeping. However, she has learnt the art of sharing now. You will find her proud of her abilities, friends and parents.

Tips for Parenting a 7 years, 10-Month-Old Child

You should make it a point to help her feel like a winner while playing with her. Here are some helpful tips that you can consider:

Give her the time to complete a task.

Give her the opportunity to try something new. Remember a child learns only by trying different things. You can now give her plenty of project supplies, activities and crafts to enable her to use her small and large muscles. You will be making a mistake if you expect her to be perfect in her ventures.

You may also find her getting too critical these days. Self criticism shall also make her upset at times. It is important you help her through these stress times and support all efforts she takes up. Ask her to concentrate more on how a finished product looks rather than self criticising all the time.

Good luck mommies!
