When is the best time for a child’s brain to develop?

Newborn babies sleep a lot every day and are very restless in their limbs. This is mainly because their brains are not fully developed. As the baby gets older, the brain will begin to develop slowly. Parents all hope that their children will be very smart, so they must seize the best period of their children's brain development and take some scientific measures to promote brain development during this period.

The best period for children's brain development:

When is the best period for children's brain development? Some parents missed the best period for their children's brain development and did not provide timely training, so their children are not as intelligent as other children. After all, there is a difference between having training and not having training, and children must be effectively trained at the appropriate time. Let’s learn about the issues of children’s brain development.

The brain of a child around one year old weighs twice as much as it did when he was born, which is equivalent to half the weight of an adult's brain; at the age of two, it is three-quarters of the weight of an adult's brain; thereafter, the development of the brain begins to slow down until adulthood.

From the rate at which brain weight increases, it can be seen that brain development is fastest in the first 1-2 years. Therefore, it can be said that the first 1-2 years after a child is born is a critical period for brain development.

The so-called critical period means that during this period of time, children are most likely to learn certain knowledge and experience. If they miss this period, they will not be able to obtain or reach the best level. On the contrary, during this critical period, the brain is most vulnerable to damage, but its compensatory recovery ability is also the strongest. If the damage cannot be repaired in time, serious damage will often cause irreversible consequences and affect lifelong.

Brain development is affected by many factors, such as genetics, environment, education, nutrition and disease. Parents should avoid some adverse factors that may affect children's brain development. On the basis of priority, create a good living environment for children, provide them with rich environmental stimulation, good education and adequate nutrition, and their brains will develop healthily.

Genetics provides the foundation, and life experience creates the spirit and soul. The essence of early education is not to instill all kinds of knowledge, but to listen and guide children to understand the real world.

After reading the above, you will have some understanding of the best time for children's brain development. As long as the corresponding training is carried out in the best period, the child will win at the starting line. Therefore, as parents, we must learn more common sense so that we can train our children well.
