A new app allows parents to playfully support their children as they explore their surroundings. They can record important motor, cognitive and linguistic milestones and receive scientifically sound information on each step. The app was developed by psychologists at the University of Zurich, who are researching the individual development of children. Babies, toddlers and young children develop new skills almost every day and amaze the people around them again and again. "Sometimes the developmental steps are easy to observe in everyday life, sometimes playful tasks help," says Moritz Daum, professor of developmental psychology at the University of Zurich. So that parents can better recognize and record their children's progress, he and his team have developed the "kleineWeltentdecker" ("small world explorers") app. Simple, playful and scientifically sound.
