Infant stimulation Baby Development
Recent advances in brain-imaging techniques have proven what researchers have said for over twenty years: an infant's environment has a dramatic affect on brain development.
In the first years of your baby's life, the brain is busy building its wiring system. Activity in the brain creates tiny electrical connections called synapses. The amount of stimulation your baby receives has a direct affect on how many synapses are formed. Repetitive stimulation strengthens these connections and makes them permanent , whereas young connections that don't get used eventually die out.
These first years are a very important and pivotal time for a developing young brain. This intense period of brain growth and network building happens only once in a lifetime. We as parents have a brief but golden opportunity to help our babies stimulate the formation of brain circuitry. Here are some fascinating facts that researchers have discovered:
- Babies have a biological need and desire to learn
- The foundational networking of the brain's synapses is nearly complete after the rapid brain development of the first 3 years.
- The more stimulating experiences you can give your baby means the more circuitry that is built for enhanced learning in the future.
- Babies have a definite preference for high contrast images.
- The amount of connections in the brain can increase or decrease by 25 percent depending on the environment and stimulation.
- Visual stimulation can produce developmental advantages including enhanced curiosity, attentiveness and concentration.
- Your baby's best toy is you! Interact with your baby as much as possible!
