Arts such as hand painting can be fun and if the design is free style, then your child is able to communicate his feelings easily.

Cognitive skills

Exercises that mentally stimulate and force him to think deeper about simple issues can help evolve his mental abilities. Eventually, this will result in your child being able to recollect information quickly, understand and analyse deeper issues easily.
