Make the Difference

Children can work together to design and build intricate and thoughtful structures using their creativity, imagination and logical thinking. These are some of my four year old son’s favourite words. He is starting to treat them with caution though, having overplayed the ‘surprise’ approach many a time –“I’ve got a surprise if you brush your teeth/eat dinner/stop sitting on my head at 6am.” The excitement is swiftly followed by crushing disappointment when the surprise is revealed to be a kiss from me/an apple/an invisible pet. Make water in the lounge, Mummy!” I love the God-like expectations my children have of me. One soggy rug later they were really happy fishing together and it occupied them for quite an impressive amount of time. I was really taken by the bright, retro design of the boat and it’s appeal to different age ranges. With different levels of play it would grow with a child from baby onwards. Here are some of the most commonly recognised schemas in toddlers. They’re mostly based around movement, though in principle a schema can be about anything. Trajectory schema

Read more about the rotation schema and learn about the four levels of schema understanding. Orientation schema Children will be able to construct and build a wide variety of interesting models and designs using this set of construction straws. Like all schema play, development of the enclosing schema happens naturally. But if you know to look out for it, you can provide opportunities to practice and improve. If your child likes to swing upside down from the monkey bars, lie along the top of the sofa or sit in the trolley facing the wrong way at the supermarket, then they are exploring their orientation schema. In orientation, your child is discovering how to see things from a different point of view. This important schema builds confidence in many physical activities and games, when it becomes useful to anticipate how another player might move.Schema play is especially noticeable in toddlers. Bashing, banging, pushing, pulling: destruction testing is a key feature of this kind of activity. What does this thing do? What happens if I drop it? Will it break if I hit it? What if I hit it again? Your child wants the answers to all these questions and will persevere until she has them. She is trying to make sense of the world, one action at a time. Wrap up parcels (Christmas is great for envelopers!) and use paper, newspaper, string, sellotape, ribbons

It’s incredibly satisfying to identify the schema your child is interested in. You are then able to offer toys and activities that help them get the most from their investigations.It depends. For our purposes we’ll focus on eight, although in theory the number is limitless. Jump straight to the schema that interests you via the following links, or read on for more information about schema play and why it matters. Understanding that this is a normal urge and allowing it to happen in a safe environment will give your child many happy hours of play. To support orientation schema play, try walking along walls, rolling down hills, climbing up steps and any kind of movement that requires them to find different heights or positions. Gymnastics, games like Twister, soft play, or a simple trip to the park, are also great for exploring different points of views. And of course, there is always climbing trees. Does your child like to arrange her toys just-so? Does he spend hours lining his cars up in a row or find pleasure in creating scenes or displays? Then your child is exploring their positioning schema. Positioning provides early foundations for many key skills and activities, from laying the table and placing shoes under pegs, to creating patterns in maths and maintaining neat work in school books. Social, communication and language skills are all improved through playing with construction resources.

Schemas help us make sense of the world. They are mental models ofour current thinking.We update them over time as new information comes in.In this article, we looked at action schemas. These are how we represent movements in our minds so that we can recreate them at a later time. When children enclose, they are learning that objects – or ideas – can be contained in a discrete space. And that anything outside this is a separate entity. But there is a second type ofschema – schemas of form. We use these to help usrecall shapes and arrangements. As our understanding becomes more sophisticated, we use them to draw and eventually to write. A child investigating the idea of enveloping may repeatedly drop your keys behind the radiator or open the bin and look inside.
