Your Child Is Likely To Use Abstract Thinking

Team AckoFeb 6, 2025

Your child is now moving towards abstract thinking. He picks up abstract concepts from his environment through play (pretend play, symbolic play) and learning interactions.

Financial Planning: Key to Your Child’s Optimal Growth

For instance, when he is playing with his friend, he may use a bench as a bus or after reading a book, you may hear him say, “This book is about friendship.” He will try to relate the theme of the book from the read story to his own world. He thinks beyond the facts and brings out his own perspective.

What you need to know

Raise a curious child. Encourage him to ask questions like why, why not or what if, etc.

Allow him to experiment with different objects like pattern blocks, shape sets, unit blocks, beads etc. For instance, he may represent number 1 by aligning 4 beads in a line or make a house using blocks and play ‘pretend play’ with his friend.

Get your child to read books on varied topics. For instance, if he has read books on animals and birds, he will apply the knowledge and say, “Look! That’s, a monkey. Its home is the tree.”

Financial Planning: Key to Your Child’s Optimal Growth

Your child's all-round development combines formal education and creative activities. Mosaic art, for instance, develops hand-eye coordination and boosts confidence, which are the precursors to intellectual and emotional development.

Just as nurturing your child’s growth requires attention, securing the future involves proactive financial planning. Term insurance will provide your loved ones with financial protection for unforeseen emergencies. Considering the rising living costs, choosing a 1 crore term insurance plan will ensure sound protection.

When deciding on a life insurance plan, use a term insurance calculator to estimate the right coverage and premiums and always choose a plan that guarantees long-term financial security.
