Would you stop a child doing this ? 😍
Let’s remember
Children learn in a multitude of ways and some children have specific ways that they make sense of the world.
Through repetitive actions (schema) children are finding out, being curious and constantly learning.
It’s all part of their learning process and we need to recognise different types of schemas in play.
“A schema is a pattern of repeated actions. Clusters of schemas develop into later concepts" (Athey, 2007). It’s an urge!
To understand that children use play to collect information, and they do this in a methodical, logical and systematic way, through the use of their senses and constant movements.
The way children learn through PLAY is incredible❤️
Just because it doesn’t make sense to us adults - doesn’t mean it’s not making sense to the child.
They will use their entire bodies and senses to find out about the world around them, this in turn can also send calming signals to the brain.
