Infant brain research

Bright from the Start:  the Simple, Science-Backed Way to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind from Birth to Age 3 by Jill Stamm, Ph.D.

Recently I attended a program presented by Dr. Stamm on infant brain research and it made me want to read her book.  I am learning so much that I wanted to share some of the highlights with family and friends who have young children in their families since I know they don't get much time to read.

And the information is as simple as A-B-C.  In fact, she uses those letters to help you remember the basics:
     Attention
     Bonding
     Communication

You don't need to spend a lot of money on fancy toys or gadgets or programs.  All your young child needs is consistent one-on-one time with an adult (Attention), lots of loving interaction and touch (Bonding), and reading, talking, singing, and playing to learn phonemes, the smallest unit of sound in our language (Communication).

See--you can do it!  More tomorrow...

P.S.  I'm also reading another book, The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain but will share that later.  However, just to let you know--there is hope for the older brains!
