Brain development techniques for a

smart baby

At birth, your baby's brain contains 100 billion neurons. During his first years, your child’s brain will grow trillions of brain-cell connections, called neural synapses.

Although an infant's brain does have some neurological hard wiring, such as the ability to learn any language, it is more pliable and more vulnerable than an adult's brain.

In turn, he will acquire rich language, reasoning, and planning skills.

Amazingly, a toddler's brain has twice as many neural connections as an adult's.

When you provide loving, language-enriched experiences to your baby, you are giving his brain's neural connections and pathways more chances to become wired together.

Give your baby a physically healthy start before he is born.

Stay healthy while you are pregnant, and be aware that certain drugs can be destructive to your baby's brain in utero.

Many children who were drug-abused in the womb struggle with severe learning problems and suddenly act with unprovoked aggressive behaviours.

Studies have also revealed that cigarette smoking during pregnancy causes a decline in the brain development of your child.

Play games that involve the hands like peekaboo. These games promote the growth of the baby’s brain. Another simple method to boost your baby’s brain is to foster an early passion for books.

Choose books with large and colourful pictures, and share your baby's delight in pointing and making noises.

Experts suggest that modulation of the tone of your voice helps the baby’s brain development as it makes him understand different emotions.

When you are reading a book to your baby, simplify or elaborate on story lines as it ignites an interest in them.

Remember that building your baby's ability to understand spoken language is more important than developing his speaking skills in his infancy years.

When your baby cries, you must respond promptly. Soothe, nurture, cuddle, and reassure him.

This will not only stop his crying but will also build positive brain circuitry in the limbic area of the brain, which relates to emotions.

You don’t need to go to a brain specialist to understand about the growth of your baby’s brain. Simple home remedies like creating an emotional bond with the baby, holding, cuddling etc.

send a signal of emotional security to his brain which leads to its development. Having meaningful conversations with your child also contributes to his growth.

Responding to your baby’s chuckles helps in developing the areas in the brain which work for understanding speech and producing language.

You should set up a safe environment for your crawling baby or toddler. Spatial learning is important, and your mobile child will begin to understand

parameters such as under, over, near, and far. He will be able to establish mental maps of his environment and a comfortable

relationship with the world in which he lives. Such simple home remedies work wonders for the growth of your child’s brain. Spend quality time with your child and you will definitely notice a steady

growth in his mental abilities.
