Every parent tries to provide their children with the best food so that they have all the nutrition for growth. But what do parents do for their children's mental growth?
Games and puzzles are the perfect tool - playing with numbers, pictures and words to get a desired result. They are used in developing critical thinking capabilities in a child's mental growth today. Whether it's puzzles, word searches or mazes, they can make a child spend hours solving them.
Even a simple game like Tic-Tac-Toe challenges children's ability to think and problem-solve - a skill they will benefit from for the rest of their life.
Some of the puzzles are mathematics-related; the most common ones being used today by adults and children is Sudoku.
Children often have a fear of maths and Sudoku helps them practise counting without that fear.
Games and puzzles can also be played by adults and helps to slow the ageing process as it forces people to think.
Games and puzzles are an easy, fun and affordable way to keep children occupied as they learn.
