What is childhood development

A focus on Little Kids, ages 3 – 6 years.

Childhood development is the process of change that occurs over time. For little kids between the ages of 3 – 6 years, childhood development covers the unique development of their physical, intellectual, language, emotional and social growth.
Experts believe this stage of childhood development is one of the most crucial period because the experiences and relationships that are formed during the ages of 3 to 6 years determine how the brain develops.

What is childhood development like for Black and Mixed-race children?

The childhood development in a Black or Mixed-race child between the ages of 3 and 6 is unique. This is the first time your child will realise they have a different skin colour and or for girls, their hair is different. Unfortunately, this might also be the first -time, your kids will face racism at school.

As parents of Black or Mixed-race kids, this is the time to pay special attention to what your child is saying and what has been said to your child either at school or at their playgroup. It is also a great time to instill good values that will uphold their self-esteem and help them become more confident.
