The impact of color therapy on the development of a young child

According to color preferences, we decorate interiors and select closet. We surround ourselves with colors constantly. However, many of us do not know that colors, in addition to their aesthetic function, also have an underestimated therapeutic function.

Color therapy can have a salutary effect on our mood, well-being, energy resources and motivation for action. In the case of children, it is all the more valuable because toddlers only learn emotional self-regulation as they get older. Therefore, properly selected colors in the environment of the youngest is an excellent support for their development.

Color interaction

Colors affect us in different ways. The color red adds energy and stimulates action, green – calms, relaxes vision and helps regain harmony of mind and body, blue – calms and facilitates falling asleep, yellow – helps fight sadness, revitalizes brain function, improves memory and concentration, violet – soothes the nervous system and improves mood.

Avoid overstimulation – the principle of moderation

Wanting to take advantage of the beneficial properties of color therapy in the daily life of our child, the most important thing is (in addition to the appropriate choice of colors, of course) the principle of moderation. Too diverse a color scheme in a child’s environment causes overstimulation, which over-stimulates the nervous system and negatively affects mood. That’s why it’s a good idea to go for toys and objects that support the development of the toddler, but are at the same time subdued, friendly and individually selected to the needs and temperament of the child.
