Must-Know Tips for Raising Babies
Recent psychological theorists find the close relationship between emotional and intellectual growth in children’s brain.
“The most important of the emerging revelations is that the key to stimulating emotional and intellectual growth in your child is your own behavior–what you do, what you don’t do, how you scold, how you reward and how you show affection. If the baby’s brain is the hardware, then you, the parents, provide the software. When you understand the hardware (your baby’s brain), you will be better able to design the software (your own behavior) to promote baby’s well-being. “
The first two years of your baby are very critical to form the mental foundation. When your baby builds the mental foundation that will dictate his/her behavior through adulthood. Thus spend more time to attune to your baby’s state, like soothing sounds or rocking to help him/her calm down. To be certain, if you play with your baby and show your affection will also speed up the growth of his/her little brain according to the experts.
