Putting Perception on Problems

Children are learning to understand their world. They can not yet grasp something that is not available through thier senses, in the future, in the past. Time is not yet important to children and shouldn't be. But they are always learning. This is perception. And they are not into seeing anyone elses perception but their own. Because they have not learned empathy yet. Putting perception to problems by a visual of small and big is attainable for children after age 4 going on 5 years.They are learning that some things they can do themselves and others they need to ask help. Kids do not like asking for help because they want to do everything themselves. But we also know, as adults, learning to ask for help is difficult but needed at times. Kids are also learning to be independent at this age. So what they can do we want them to do. These kids are learning so much and they all seem to contradict each other if we think about it. Putting perspective to problems by providing a quick visual for kids will introduce them to putting problems into catagories. Our brain likes catagories and kids can do this at this age. Adults may need to help them undertand what a big problem is and small problem is but this is great lesson at this age. I even use it as an adult!
