Educate A Brilliant Child: Learn how to Raise Your Baby The Right Way

This book provides parents and carers with the latest research and tips on the best ways we know to enhance infant brain development. While it is important to be a relaxed parent, some parents simply think that a child is either intelligent or they are not (based on their genetic composition). Little do they know, the role the parent plays in the first two years of a baby's life, greatly influences their future IQ. Here's how..... The key developmental period for boosting baby's brain power is from the third trimester until around two. At birth, a baby's brain contains 100 billion neurons (equivalent to the number of stars in the Milky Way). And these crucial first years will see the development of trillions of brain-cell connections, called "neural synapses". Synapses that are not "wired together" by stimulation are pruned and lost during the school years. When a baby is born, all those neurons in their brain are not connected up in the way they need to be for learning or understanding. What wires up a baby's brain is you, the adult who interacts with them. You are the teacher and sculptor of your baby's brain. Consequently a parent who can spend lots of quality time enriching their baby in their first few years of life is one of the most important factors of baby brain development.
