How to Ensure Healthy Brain Development for Your BabyThe moment your baby is born, the possibilities of miracles are infinite. She can become an artist, a scientist, a teacher, a successful business woman and the list goes on. The sheer number of all the things that your baby can become are incredible. Her little brain has 100 billion neurons or nerve cells that can process so much!
With each new experience, your baby’s neurons will form neural networks that will transmit information involved in feeling, sensing, thinking, and learning. Her brain will grow at an astonishing rate during these early years, nearly tripling in weight by her third birthday!
Studies show that an enriched environment can strengthen brain development as a baby grows. For example, studies show that animals raised in toy-filled surroundings have more neural networks and more connections than isolated animals.
Some of the findings confirm what parents and caregivers already know — that the way in which a child is raised has an enormous impact on her emotional well being, intellectual level and skills for success. Scientists are learning about the neurological processes that support and go beyond this understanding. Research is showing that experiences, coupled with heredity, literally shape the brain! Check out some of our tips on how to ensure a healthy brain for your baby!
