Give Ear To First Year

“Baby minds are precious gifts entrusted to parents for safekeeping. Only in the security of a warm and nurturing relationship and a richly stimulating environment will a child become all he can be.”

- Linda Acredolo & Susan Goodwyn

Welcome to the amazing world of babies !!!

You are already on a fascinating journey with heaven in your arms. Wild days, crazy nights followed by those giggles and smiles, it will always be a roller coaster ride. We, as parents make every effort to make this journey remarkable, fulfilling, memorable and enriching. We almost do everything to the best of our ability to cater to their physical need (nutritious food, hygiene, clothing, comfort etc.) and emotional ones (hugging and kissing to express they mean the world to us, jumping and bumping when they are crying, singing a song or a rhyme to pacify them).

But the one aspect we sometimes ignore or are unaware is “What Does a Baby's Brain Needs?” In terms of nourishment, we give our best, but, your baby’s little brain needs much more than that. Find out more on this in "Why Beigin at 0" and how YOU can do your best to give your baby the best.

Remember the feeling of excitement the day your baby was born. While you were smiling and saying hello, rubbing her tiny fingers and stroking her cheeks, her brain cells were firing away, activating various regions of her brain. Far from the passive little bundle she resembled, your baby was hard at work, actively constructing the foundation of her future intellectual and emotional self.

Construction of this miracle organ begins just weeks after conception. Brain is made of cells called “neurons”. By the time, a baby makes her entry into the world, she will have the maximum number of neurons she will ever have – around 100 to 200 billions!!

If newborns have all their neurons in place, why can’t they read, write or speak? Find out here in "What's Going Inside The Little Brain?"
