I’ve missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. I’ve lost almost three hundred games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. -Michael Jordan. The life we have and many things that we do every day do not necessarily have clear cut instructions. Our search for the perfection never ends, we learn many new things every day. How do we learn them?

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.

Learning Curve
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
