Basics about Babies' Brain Development = Los basicos del desarrollo del cerebro.
Southeastern Regional Vision for Education (SERVE), Tallahassee, FL.
This brochure for parents, in English- and Spanish-language versions, provides facts about infants' brains and offers suggestions for parents to help their baby's development by providing experiences to stimulate neural development. The facts are: (1) a baby's brain needs many different experiences to be nourished, such as being talked or sung to and experiencing eye contact; (2) babies brains come with over 100 billion neurons which need to connect for the baby to have basic skills such as thinking, seeing, hearing, and moving; (3) the brain allows the baby to feel emotions and respond to situations, but much depends on how parents and others take care of him or her; (4) if a baby does not have lots of love and interesting things to do, he or she can lose some of the connections in the brain; (5) babies' brains grow better when people around them, especially their families, show them love; and (6) a baby's safety and health are also important, and require nourishing food, regular health care, a safe home, and a car seat.
