EXCITING THINGS ABOUT THE BRAIN


babies are born with over 1 Billion brain cells.
some of these cells are connected and regulate heartbeat and breathing as well as babies control reflexes.
But most of the wiring of the brain is done after birth, in the first few months of life connections are made between the cells and this creates the complex curcuits that make up our emotions, actions and thinking, our feelings, behaviours and thoughts.
most of the connections have formed by the time we are 3 years old.
every experience thats taken in with the 5 senses helps build the connections that guide our development.
by playing, talking, singing, and being with your baby you can help them develop in the best way possible.
in this blog i will look at ways that you can interact with your baby, we will look at differant development stages in your babies life, and be able to go along side with where baby is at developmental stage and use corresponding activities and play time to stimulate your babies brain and increase the bonding between caregiver and child.
