In section 1, I learned it is important to use open-ended material. It is also great to ask open-ended questions. When the children are playing with open-ended materials it is best to not give direction right away. Letting the child explore the material first helps their minds develop.
The developmental domains consist of social/emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Children develop at different rates, but they should be doing different things at each age. Things to expect at each age group:
