Brain Power Development

Spending time with your child will help them grow socially and they will feel content and ecstatic to learn. If you read to them with picture books, that helps their brain associate words with pictures and therefore it speeds up the learning process. For children, images speak louder than words and the brain remembers pictures more than it will remember a word in a book. Spending ample quality time by reading or playing with numbers as much as possible will help the brain develop an appropriate amount of connections that are necessary for cells to communicate with each other to help the brain make even more connections. The more the child experiences, the more he or she will communicate and the more the cells will connect. By the time a child reaches the age of three, they have twice the number of connections within the brain as the average adult does. The way in which the brain learns something during the preschool years is different from how an adult brain would learn. The brain has the most plasticity at the preschool age and therefore it is important that preschoolers be provided with as much mental stimulation as possible at this age.
