Parents!
Do you know that you are your child's first and most important teacher? Listen to these facts:
A baby is born with the brain hard wired to receive environmental stimuli from the five senses.
A baby’s brain is going to be creating neurological connections and neuron-systems that will stay in place for the rest of its life.
The vital stimuli that your baby requires first is Essential Touch. Gentle touch tells your baby he is safe and loved and cared for when he is uncomfortable.
The first three years of your baby’s life is an important time for him to be nurtured and cared for in a way that will help him know he can reach out and learn without harm or fear.
Infants that are mishandled during this time can develop neuron-systems that will have an adverse effect on their learning and their minds for the rest of their lives.
You can learn more about how babies learn and their brains develop by researching on line, by attending parenting classes, by contacting your local child care agencies, by contacting me at KBM Consulting and Staff Development.
You can help your baby grow up in a kind and loving atmosphere by taking care of you.
Remember, never shake your baby.
Remember, never strike your baby.
Remember, never deny your baby the proper food, care, medical care, or nurturing he requires.
Attend workshops on child development and parenting whenever you can.
