For parents of preschoolers, Neil Armstrong’s immortal words, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” may perfectly describe the joy of seeing their children achieve daily developmental progress. While it may seem simple to many, parents consider every children’s action – especially those done during three to five years old – as a milestone and a proof that their child is developing accordingly.
It is no wonder then, with today’s technology providing more communication opportunities that social networks and file-sharing sites are bursting with photos and videos of children’s achievements – big or small.
Experts say that celebrating a child’s small, everyday successes is normal and even encouraged, as this can reinforce resilience and self-esteem in immeasurable ways. When children achieve something – whether it's as simple as brushing their own teeth or riding a bike – and their parents recognize it, a sense of confidence at an early age can already be developed.
While it is normally a period of slow growth, it is during a child’s third to fifth years when learning and acquisition of skills is at a fast pace. During this time, parents are encouraged to watch out for certain markers, called developmental milestones, to help measure a child’s growth in four primary areas of development that includes speech/language, cognitive/intellectual, social/emotional, and fine/gross motor skills. For example, a three-year-old should be able to assemble easy puzzles, while a child aged four should be able to capably use table utensil. Meanwhile, five-year-olds are usually able to walk on tiptoes or do broad jumps at their age.
Needless to say, it is also at this stage when providing the balanced mix of brain and body building nutrients for the specific needs of children is of utmost importance. This constitutes to a holistic and integrated approach to child development, which includes fostering healthy eating habits and proper nourishment through milk.
Recognizing the important benefits of milk during this crucial period, Alaska Milk Corporation has introduced Alaska NutriBuild 345, which is specifically formulated to provide preschool children with appropriate amount of essential nutrients they need for their brain and body development during their formative years.
