Eventhough brain development starts early in the pregenancy but its only partially developed at birth. Billions of nerve cells or neurons are developed prior to birth but they are not connected. The development of a person’s brain happens most rapidly during the first three years of life as neural connections are developed between these neurons. Development of these connections, dictate a person’s intelligence. Neural connections are formed by looking, listening and feeling activities. Early experiences can have a dramatic impact on the brain’s wiring process causing the final number of connections in the brain to increase or decrease by as much as 25%. The activity that most... Read More

Your grown child is now going to be a teenager, the bridge to adulthood. This is the age when they start asking, fighting and arguing for more freedom, greater independence and test the limits of acceptable behaviour.

Their clothing, appearance, behaviour and thinking, all are changing very fast and more often than ever. This is also the most vulnerable age when they are getting more confused and more often they have to choose between the parents and the friends. This is the time your... Read More

In this pre-school period, you can easily see the difference among the learning performances of kids. Some kids learn fast, while some are slow to catch up. The love and caring your kid gets from home, as well as the mental stimulation from his environment and the people around him affect his first grade performance. It is at this stage that your child’s mind works so fast and his interest branches out in many different directions. How fast he will go in any direction will depend on how much you, the parent, spend time on him, his individual pace of learning which is determined by his genes, and how much early stimulation he receives before age 3. Attending a nursery school or a day... Read More

During these years, your baby will turn into a toddler, a very young child. She will gain enough control of her growing body to walk, climb, jump, run, and manipulate objects. She will learn to use language to communicate, ask questions, tell you what she needs, and tell stories. Her learning style is becoming more evident. Her personality will be forming, as the genes she inherited interacts with the quality of her environment and your parenting. Your toddler wants to be independent, but at the same time is scared of it all. She wants your help but at the same time, she doesn’t want it. This shift in emotions can give rise to tantrums.

After birth, the baby’s brain continues wiring itself in response to the child’s experiences of the world. The connecting links of these cells grow at a tremendous rate during the first few months of your baby’s life Learning is faster and effortless This growth is partly stimulated by the activity of nerve pathways leading to the brain. The more stimuli your baby receives from his senses, the more connections are created... Read More

Raising a smart kid is all about developing his potential, making him all that he (or she) can be. The brain does not grow automatically with age. It comes from experience and the exercise the brain receives. Sight, sound, touch, taste and smell stimulate the brain’s cell connections (called synapses) and create trillions more. The more complex these interconnections, the smarter your kid will be. When you provide your kid with early stimulation and a wide range of experiences, you can accelerate his brain development. Also, when you bond with your baby, you provide him with love and security that brings about brain connections. Your kid’s brain growth is dynamic. It does not stand... Read More
