Brain Building 101: What every parent should know
Brain building with your child during their first 5 years gives them a strong base for lifelong learning.
VROOM: A baby’s brain is wired to grow from birth! It starts off with billions of neurons. During your child’s earliest years, their brain makes 1 million neural connections every single second.
That’s a lot of brain building! Positive, supportive experiences with adults help your child’s brain grow strong and flexible. That makes you your child’s #1 brain builder!
The VROOM website or free app provides the parent or caregiver simple, easy and fun DAILY tips to engage your little one during routine activities such as brushing teeth or changing a diaper.
