23.01.2022 5 Amazing Benefits of Sunlight for Babies More Vitamin D: This is one of the biggest benefits your baby will get on exposure to sunlight. Our body needs vitamin D; and to create it, the body requires a minimum of 15 minutes of UV rays every day, depending on the baby’s skin tone darker-skinned babies require more time in the sun, but it should not exceed 30 minutes. Vitamin D aids in absorbing calcium, which in turn strengthens bones and teeth. The immune system works effi...ciently, and the body is protected from diseases. Better Serotonin Levels: Sunlight is known to augment the production of serotonin when babies receive it in the necessary quantity. Serotonin, which is often called the ‘happy hormone’, boosts the feeling of happiness and security. Serotonin regulates sleep and digestion in babies. Enhanced Insulin Levels: Receiving sunlight from an early age can help prevent conditions like diabetes to a certain extent. Though it is not the only facilitator of good insulin levels, it is definitely an added advantage as the vitamin D in the body helps manage insulin levels. A healthy diet and exercise during the child’s growing years can be extremely beneficial in keeping diabetes in check. Manages Jaundice or Yellowing of the Skin: Sunlight helps break down bilirubin a yellowish compound that occurs in the natural catabolic pathway so that a baby’s liver can process it more easily. The unchecked growth of bilirubin can cause the yellowing of a newborn baby’s skin. Exposing your baby to morning sunlight for 15 to 20 minutes, undressed, every day, can help with mild jaundice. A severe case, however, will need more attention. Higher Energy Levels: When a newborn baby is exposed to natural sunlight, it helps regulate the production of melatonin. Melatonin levels in the baby can impact his sleep patterns, which are of utmost importance in the newborn’s early years. Sunlight causes a dip in melatonin levels and increases serotonin, thus increasing energy levels.

17.01.2022 Play helps children to build confidence feel loved, happy and safe develop social skills, language and communication... learn about caring for others and the environment develop physical skills. Unstructured, free play is the best type of play for young children. This is play that just happens, depending on what takes your child’s interest at the time. Free play isn’t planned and lets your child use his imagination and move at his own pace.

15.01.2022 Outdoor play can also mean more mess and more mess often means more fun! When children are outside, they probably have more space and freedom for big movements, like running, jumping, kicking and throwing. Physical activities like these are good for every child's health, fitness and physical development.

05.01.2022 EYLF Learning Outcome 5: Children Are Effective Communicators 5.2 Children engage with a range of texts and gain meaning from these texts. This is evident when children:... listen and respond to sounds and patterns in speech, stories and rhymes in context. view and listen to printed, visual and multimedia texts and respond with relevant gestures, actions, comments and/or questions. sing and chant rhymes, jingles and songs. take on roles of literacy and numeracy users in their play. begin to understand key literacy and numeracy concepts and processes, such as the sounds of language, letter-sound relationships, concepts of print and the ways that texts are structured. explore texts from a range of different perspectives and begin to analyze the meanings. actively use, engage with and share the enjoyment of language and texts in a range of ways. recognize and engage with written and oral culturally constructed texts. Educators promote this learning by: read and share a range of books and other texts with children. provide a literacy-enriched environment including display print in home languages and Standard Australian English. sing and chant rhymes, jingles and songs. engage children in play with words and Sounds. talk explicitly about concepts such as rhyme and letters and sounds when sharing texts with children. incorporate familiar family and community texts and tell stories. join in children’s play and engage children in conversations about the meanings of images and print. engage children in discussions about books and other texts that promote consideration of diverse perspectives. support children to analyze ways in which texts are constructed to present particular views and to sell products. teach art as language and how artists can use the elements and principles to construct visual/musical/dance/media texts. provide opportunities for children to engage with familiar and unfamiliar culturally constructed text.
