Infant Brain Development
Sahria Aden 2A
Match experiences to the childs mental abilities
- playing with toys that make sound
- colorful toys
- teething toys
( flashcard would not be an appropriate toy for a three-month-old )
Practice makes perfect
- Nap time around the same time.
- Bedtime stories
- Eating time
( After repeating after so long the child will begin to learn that these actions are important)
Actively involve the baby
- letting the child figure out their toys by themselves
- eventually let them try to bottle feed themselves
- showing them new things and letting them explore it.
( Children of all ages learn best by doing. )

• Try waiting a week to introduce a child to a new toy
• Make sure the child gets used to the taste of a food before trying a lot more different food.
• Play soft upbeat music for the child.
