11. Cognitive Development: Ages 2-5

Cognitive development from ages 2 to 5 is marked by significant advancements in thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Children begin to engage in more complex play, use symbols, and develop memory skills. Encouraging exploration and curiosity during this stage is vital for cognitive growth. Activities that stimulate thinking, such as puzzles, building blocks, and art projects, promote critical thinking and creativity. Engaging children in discussions and encouraging them to ask questions fosters a love for learning. Islamic teachings highlight the importance of knowledge and wisdom. Incorporating stories from the Quran and Islamic history can enhance children's understanding of their faith while encouraging cognitive development. By providing a stimulating environment that encourages exploration and creativity, caregivers can support children in developing essential cognitive skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
