If you consider intelligence to be the ability of one to learn, then babies are born geniuses. Babies have the potential to learn almost anything. It is therefore the role of the parents to determine how this learning process will take place. Believe it or not but baby learning begins before birth. Babies in the womb are able to use their sense of hearing since their hearing senses are already fully developed by the fifth month.
Therefore the best time to start teaching your child is when they are still in the womb. Young brains are like sponges, absorbing everything around them. Since a baby's brain builds itself through connections it forms in response to external stimuli, learning starts early in a child's life. This is the time the brain is able to learn fastest and effortlessly. This means that skills like math, music and reading can be mastered effortlessly if learning starts at a young enough age.
The most avid students in the world are babies. This is because baby learning is already hardwired in the brain. Furthermore, the baggage of school and being subjected to tests, quizzes and examinations is not there. Therefore learning for the baby is pure enjoyment. Experts say that reading to a child from infancy regularly makes it easier for the child to read later on. Listening to you also helps a baby to become familiar with the basic rules and flow of language.
Indeed babies and books are a great mix. Try to read to your child for a few minutes everyday. Have books around with big illustrations that their little eyes can see, touch and feel. Let the child run his or her hands over the textures. Do not be discouraged if the child decides to learn by putting the book in their mouths. That is still part of the baby learning process.
Another way to help your child learn is through scribbling, simple-shape sticking and finger painting. These simple projects help boost a child's motor skills. Let him or her stick circle, square and triangle stickers everywhere, even on himself. It is amazing how the baby learning processes take place. Remember also that children have an emotional IQ level that also needs to be developed. Toddlers already show signs of empathy by trying to comfort someone in distress by the time they are one year old. Let the child feel good while doing so by thanking him with a big "Wow, thanks for helping Mommy!" When babies are allowed to interact with their environment, the baby learning process is easy and effortless. - 29940
