How To Encourage Brain Development In Children

By Tanisha Berg


Science remains concerned with the manner in which our mental and physical growth take place and how these components remain interlinked and influence one another at varying stages. Brain development in children assists in determining the role of genetics and the environment on growth and the manner in which individuals are predisposed to particular events and traits. Research reveals the stages through which young ones develop and the manner in which experience and physical growth impact on one another.

The newly born baby will include billions of neurons that require support and slow rate rate of growth when responding to different types of environmental stimuli. Parents are equipped to produce solid forms of stimulation and structured educational plans in a safe and age appropriate manner that allows for the maximum formation of visual, auditory, and physical function. Reliance on such methods prove most beneficial in supporting maximum operation of the nervous system.

To stimulate optimum growth for infant brains, it is important to introduce specific learning processes at an age appropriate level. This will involve the strengthening and the lengthening of connections between the neurons that assist in aid in better grasping of information. It further assists in the support of autonomic function for breathing, sleeping, and cardiovascular activity.

Children will develop the synaptic joins and neurons in an efficient manner between the ages of 0 to 3. These connections can aid in retaining new information and adapting to environments in a more fluid manner by means of structured and engaging stimulation that will encourage learning activity. For those who grow into adolescence, the different synapse connections will be produced.

The brain continues to adapt and adjust throughout life as it assists in the ability for individuals to adapt and retain new information. Due to the fact that most neuron formation occurs in childhood, it requires maximum support while other higher order thinking only occurs with an increase in age as the myelin sheath around the brain forms. It is this sheath that is considered most responsible for the ability to control thoughts, feelings, and overall sensory functions.

For children who reach 3 years, the brain grows to reach over half of its full maturation. Learning and engagement in age appropriate activities are encouraged for young ones that can aid in improving the strength of connections while facilitating sensory operation. The overall stimulation provided will need to be presented to young ones in a structured and efficient manner.

Implementing the right educational processes at an early stage can facilitate optimum growth processes. Plasticity is a form of development that involves the changes in the structure of the brain in response to environmental stimuli. One should take some time to determine the techniques that should be applied for growth support.

It is important to rely on specific educational measures and to ensure that overall growth is supported. Learning is a crucial process including visual and auditory methods. An investment in such procedure can aid in strengthening connections and future mental capabilities.
