These are some tips for brain development of the babies -
1. Take a tour- Go from room to room and choose one item to show and describe the item’s name, color, size, etc.
2.Play with the light switch. Turn the light switch up and say,”On.” Flip the switch down and say, “Off.” It helps the baby to understand the difference between darkness and ligh
3.Look in the mirror. Introduce baby to him or herself.
4.Talk to baby. Get very close to baby’s face and talk. Talk about anything–going to the grocery store, what the weather is like, what you are doing at that very moment. Baby learns about language by listening.
5.Dance. Hold baby close, turn on your favorite song, no matter what the beat. Dance, dance, dance.
6.Introduce stuffed animals. Grab a couple stuffed animals. Place them close to baby’s face and allow him to focus. “Talk” to the animal and talk to baby.
7.Lift baby. Lift baby in four directions and say, “Up, down, left, right.”
8.Say, “hello,” and say, “good bye.” When you walk into a room, say, “Hello.” When you leave a room, say, “Good bye.” You may even want to wave, too.
9.Read to baby on your lap. And the older baby gets, he’ll start to feel the texture of the pages you read. Try reading a glossy magazine or book, for example, which make “squeaky” sounds.
10.Do tummy time. Some babies hate it. Some babies love it. Regardless, it’s good for the little one to be on her belly. Placing objects in front can make it fun for them.
11.Name body parts. Place your hand on baby’s head and say, “head.” Place your hand on his feet and say, “feet.”
12.Do flash cards. Show baby numbers and letters and simple pictures. Be sure to talk through each card, explaining what baby is looking at.
13.Repeat the beat. Clap your hands or tap an object in a certain pattern. Then, repeat the same tapping pattern while moving or patting bAby's hand
14.Push legs. Lay baby on his back. Place the palms of your hands flat against the bottoms of baby’s feet. Allow him to push against your hands with his legs. Keep your hands from moving and see if he can scoot his body back.
15.Say the alphabet phonetically. Instead of just breezing through singing or stating the alphabet, make the sound each letter makes.
