Welcome to ‘How To Raise a Smart Baby’. This e-book provides parents and careers with the latest research and tips on the best ways we know to enhance infant brain development.
While it is important to be a relaxed parent, some parents simply think that a child is either intelligent or they are not (based on their genetic composition).
Little do they know, the role the parent plays in the first two years of a baby’s life, greatly influences their future IQ. Here’s how.....
The key developmental period for boosting baby’s brain power is from the third trimester until around two. At birth, a baby’s brain contains 100 billion neurons (equivalent to the number of stars in the Milky Way).
And these crucial first years will see the development of trillions of brain-cell connections, called “neural synapses”. Synapses that are not “wired together” by stimulation are pruned and lost during the school years.
When a baby is born, all those neurons in their brain are not connected up in the way they need to be for learning or understanding.
What wires up a baby’s brain is you, the adult who interacts with them. You are the teacher and sculptor of your baby’s brain.
Consequently a parent who can spend lots of quality time enriching their baby in their first few years of life is one of the most important factors of baby brain development.
