Building blocks together

Como fazer esta atividade

Sit with your child and a few soft blocks or stacking cups. Take turns placing one block on top of another to build a small tower. Celebrate together when the tower stands or falls. This cooperative building teaches your child that working together creates something neither could do alone. They learn to coordinate their actions with yours toward a shared goal.

Por que funciona

Cooperative building activities establish patterns of working toward shared goals, a crucial social skill. Social skills in early childhood are important predictors of children's ability to learn and succeed (McClelland, M. M., Acock, A. C., Piccinin, A., Rhea, S. A., & Stallings, M. C., 2013). These collaborative activities build neural connections for cooperation and mutual achievement.

Dicas para os pais

Keep towers short since taller ones may frustrate rather than engage your child. Two to three blocks is plenty. Knocking down the tower can be as fun as building it. Let your child enjoy both parts of the activity.
