Problems of Child Development

A child grows up not just a purely physical. Children grow, develop and learn throughout his life, starting from birth. Capabilities such as learning the first step, a smile for the first time, and waved, and so-called stages of development. Child is said to have delayed development if unable to reach a developmental stage when the other children can reach it. When children can not develop according to normal developmental stages, we can take some action to help him. In most cases, the problem is not the appropriate development of 'irregularities' alone. But with help, children can achieve the most optimal capacity.

Medical personnel using a variety of screening tools to distinguish whether the children grow and develop normally as it should or is experiencing irregularities. They will ask many questions to ask parents and children interact or play with during the screening process to see how he moves, learn, speak and behave. There are no laboratory tests that can help provide information about the child's developmental delay, so that early detection through screening assessment performed by trained medical personnel who can answer it.


If a delay is not recognized early, a child must wait until the signs and symptoms manifest into an inability to delay. This will make the situation will be increasingly difficult for children to learn to adapt to school age. Parents should have an alternative solution that fast and easy access to request help medical personnel who have the ability to assess the child's development. The absence of health facilities that have facilities and medical personnel are able to do the screening assessment or early detection of growth and development to make a long chain reaction.

Status of development of the child less and less clear, parents do not know what steps should be taken, the delay will progress to an inability, the child gets older, the more mature brain, and the harder it is to hold a reconstruction of a new building-sinapas synapse in his brain. If the situation lasts until past kkritis brain plasticity, the inability to develop into a permanent disability, the heavier the burden of the family economy, to grow into a mature young man who is not productive. The economic burden of the community will become heavy, the government and the economy of a country also become heavy and threatens the survival of a nation.

Early stimulation is a series of activities aimed at providing experience (early experience) in children through activities that stimulate the formation of the basic development skills, so that children grow and develop optimally. Child's early experience gained through stimulation activities are an integral part of nutritional aspects in shaping the architecture of the central nervous system at an early age. Architectural composition of the brain at an early age is the foundation of normal child development capabilities at the age of the next. Experience sensory deficits affect the occurrence of early childhood developmental disorders that are permanent.

The success of early stimulation to build the architecture of the brain (so it can develop normally), is highly dependent on many factors, such as when the best time began to be given, how long in duration, type of stimulation which is the most qualified, how to do it, who should do it, individual differences in children who will be stimulated, and so forth.

Micronutrient deficiencies during the rapid growth in childhood lead to impaired growth and development of both gross motor development, fine, mental and social.Micronutrients roughly be divided according to the essential interests such as zinc, iodine, iron, selenium, copper, molicdenum, fluorine. Maybe sesensial for example nickel, tin, silikoj,. Non-essential such as aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, lead. Good vitamins are water soluble and lipid soluble essential micronutrients included in.
