Solution Summary
The physical development process can be stimulated by the child not being left on his own by his babysitters and being confined to the playpen. This will prevent his brain from receiving proper stimulation by forming healthy neural connections. These neural connections are formed early in life and environmental experiences guide the brain's development and shape neural connections. Repeated experience is crucial to forming healthy connections. (Santrock, 2008)
Some suggestions for healthy neural connections are creative play, responsibility, verbal communication, exposure to different activities, and reading to and with the child. The influence of the caregivers are the primary source for healthy stimulation and focused attention to creating a healthy and stable environment will foster a sense of confidence in the child as he masters new skills. Reinforcement is provided by the caregivers and proper discipline and guidance will help the child understand his behaviors (Santrock, 2008).
