Yeyow

Categorization further emerges in a three-year old…

Robert: You know, besides his categorization skills, I've noticed he's also getting better at recognizing colors on those toy vehicles.

Laura: Yes, he's been telling me which ones are "yeyow" for yellow, “boo” for blue and "ed" for red. It's like he's discovering a whole new world of colors.

Robert: It's fascinating how their perception of colors evolves. I remember when he used to call everything "yeyow."

Laura: And his fine motor skills seem to be improving too. He's quite good at pushing his toy cars and trucks around.

Robert: He's getting the hang of it. And I've noticed he's also starting to build simple structures with his blocks, like little garages for his vehicles.

Laura: That's great! It sounds like he's developing his spatial awareness and problem-solving abilities. Who would have thought stacking blocks could be so educational?

Robert: Kids can turn almost anything into a learning opportunity, can't they? And I love how he's starting to ask "why" questions about everything.

Laura: Yes, the never-ending "why" phase. It's a sign that he's curious and trying to understand the world around him even better.

Categorization emerges in a three-year old…
Robert: Have you noticed when he’s playing with toy cars, he organizes them into groups of cars, trucks and buses? 
Laura: Yes. He says, "Leaz are leaz and loze are loze."
Robert: His categorization system. A cognitive skill.
Laura: Trying to make sense of the world in his own way. That’s our little organizer.
Robert: He's starting to notice the differences between cars, trucks, and buses.
Laura: Seems our job is to encourage his curiosity and help him learn and grow. Our responsibility as parents.

Some kids succeed in life without any parents or even much in the way of parental management. But mostly nudging by parents is a plus.

Counting while exercising

Exercising in the park...

Herbert: You’re in good shape.

.

Warren: Well, I try. Out here every day.

.

Herbert: What exercises do you do?

.

Warren: My routine is 100 situps, 100 pressups and jogging for 30 minutes.

.

Herbert: You ever lose count?

.

Losing it?

Warren: Here’s the thing. I do count, but sometimes find myself skipping ten or twenty.

.

Herbert: Hmm. Do you think that's losing the ability to count or is it just loss of attention?

Some research suggests that the inability to do two things at once, like walking while counting backwards from 50, can reveal cognitive impairment like dementia.
