17- ​Why The Sense Of Smell Is Vital To Your Child's Development

17- ​Why The Sense Of Smell Is Vital To Your Child's Development
They say the nose knows. A person’s sense of smell is one of their most significant abilities. It’s crucial to their development, and without it, they won’t be able to experience many good things in life. This notion couldn’t be more accurate for your toddler or child. While your child’s sense of smell may not be powerful yet, it helps them learn a lot about people and places.
 
However, despite being extremely significant, the smell is one of the most overlooked senses. You probably only pay much attention to your sense of smell when a garbage truck passes by or when you walk into the house of someone cooking an aromatic dish. Nonetheless, if you want your child to reach their full potential, you need to teach them how to appreciate their sense of smell. Below are some of the main reasons your child’s ability to recognise scents is crucial to their overall development.

Sense of smell is closely linked to memory and emotions.
 
According to experts, there’s a close connection between a person’s sense of smell and their ability to remember things. When it comes to children, scent usually plays a crucial role in evoking memories. Just as your child recognises people and places by their scent, they can also remember those scents for a while. Hence, your child may recognise something from a long time ago just by the smell of it.
 
Aside from memories, smelling a particular scent they’ve already smelled before can also induce familiar emotions within your child. For example, if a food’s specific aroma reminds them of their grandmother cooking in her kitchen, they may feel a sense of happiness and nostalgia. In other words, smelling scents can also make your child feel emotions.
 
Sense of smell stimulates the development of other reasons.
 
While considered one of the most overlooked senses, a person’s sense of smell is vital to developing their other senses. For instance, the importance of smell has always been closely linked by research studies to the development of taste.
 
When your sense of smell diminishes, your sense of taste will most likely follow. This is because the olfactory area in your nose controls both smell and taste. When you’re chewing food, odour molecules enter the back of your nose. Your taste buds then tell you if the food is sweet, sour, salty, or bitter. Especially for children, distinguishing different scents is vital to strengthening their taste buds.
 
Sense of smell can trigger behaviours.
 
If you think there’s no connection between your sense of smell and your behaviours, then you’re wrong. Several research studies have shown that scents can trigger and affect how people behave. Since scents can tap into people’s emotions, they have the power to influence and motivate their actions and decisions.
 
For example, if you enter a pleasant-smelling store, you’ll most likely buy more goods from that store than from another store that reeks of rotten eggs. Similarly, if you give your child two kinds of fruits, one strawberry and the other durian, there’s a great chance that they’ll choose to eat the strawberry because of its better and sweeter scent. Ultimately, the impact of odours on children and even adults’ behaviours can’t be denied.
 
Conclusion
 
Identifying scents is one of the essential abilities that completes your child’s development. Without a sense of smell, your kid might find it hard to develop some of the other vital aspects about them, such as their memory, emotions, behaviours, and other senses. For this reason, it’s essential to allow your child to explore and enhance their sense of smell.
 
One of the best ways to do this is by sending your kid on an educational tour in Singapore that focuses on exploring natural areas and enhancing children’s sensory abilities.
