A child's brain growth comes from experience and the exercise the brain receives. Sight, sound, touch, taste and smell stimulate the brain's cell connections (called synapses) and create trillions more. The more complex these interconnections, the '''smarter''' your child will be. When you provide your child with early stimulation and a wide range of experiences, you can accelerate his brain development. | A child's brain growth comes from experience and the exercise the brain receives.

# Interact with your child. Scientists have observed that babies who were not cuddled, played with and loved have stunted brain growth. They also observed that babies who were not held and did not receive attention failed to grow, became depressed, and eventually died. On the other hand, many studies have shown that hugging, interacting and playing with your child has a strong effect on developing his intelligence. The loving connection formed between you and your child and your one-on-one interaction with him provide the foundation for his higher thinking skills. | # Interact with your child.

# Show your child that they can improve with practice and hard work. In a study, researchers showed that teaching 7th graders that intelligence is not fixed but malleable (and that it can be improved through hard work) resulted in an upward trajectory of math grades in junior high school <ref> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17328703?_ga=1.45518500.1206337787.1392126139</ref>. | # Show your child that they can improve with practice and hard work.
