Children
bring a new level of joy to any household, as well as added responsibility to
the adults they are living with. This is because parents, guardians, and older
relatives have the task of overseeing the development and stimulation of children's
senses. Thankfully, adults can step right up to this task with the help of
simple artwork and other wall decorations.
For
infants, in particular, a lot of things—such as the view outside of a speeding
vehicle—can overload their senses. A good way to stimulate infants' eyes is to
show them high-contrast black and white images, which should be held eight to
ten inches from their faces. When babies are a little older, these black and
white images can be used in speech development, as they can serve as tools that
would help a baby in identifying the two basic colors.
As
children grow older, they become more talkative and proactive in conversations.
More complex images can then be displayed in their rooms. Parents and children
can even engage each other discussing artwork or other trinkets and décor
placed on the walls. Allowing children to describe and create a story out of
the details in an image will spur the development of their speech and
imagination.
