How to Support Healthy Child Development at Home
The early years, from birth to five, form the base for future growth. Around 90 per cent of brain development occurs during this stage. Your child learns through interaction, repetition, and play. You should talk to your child often, read daily, and encourage simple play activities such as puzzles and drawing. Limit screen time and focus on real-world interaction. The NHS advises no screen use for children under two. If you notice delays in speech or movement, a Child Development Centre can assess your child and guide the next steps. Early action improves progress and reduces long-term challenges.
