Infant Brain Development

6 Steps
1. Keep it simple and natural.
Things like changing diapers and giving a bath build pathways between neurons when combined with cuddling, and talking.
2. Match experiences to the child's mental abilities
Babies learn from physical experiences. Giving them a fun colorful safe toy would help as something like flashcards would not.
3. Practice makes perfect
Established routines that stay the same helps the baby learn what to expect. Things like reading a bed time story every night
4. Actively involve the baby
kids all ages learn best by doing. provide experiences for the child that they take place. Things like playing games, this helps them learn
5. Provide variety, but avoid verload
Babies can't remember a lot of things at once. so it helps them if you don't do too many thing at a time until they learn how to remember better.
6. Avoid pushing the child
Don't push the baby to learn something. If there not interested there not going to learn anything. Look for hints to see if your baby is enjoying it and this will help them learn better. If they don't enjoy it, don't force them to.
