For any baby, his journey into the world of learning starts at birth. Your baby’s brain grows faster in his first two years than at any other time, and all the encouragement you give will help him make the most of his ever expanding potential.  The brain development during the first years of life is critical to the lifelong success of every child. During these early months, when baby’s brain is developing rapidly, adult participation in even simple activities with young children makes a lasting impression. Here you can get some ideas about what learning tools you can use to help your baby learn

You can help stimulate his senses by doing the following;

 

 

 How To Enhance Your Baby’s Development

 Talk to your baby.  The most helpful way to nurture your baby’s development is to communicate with your baby with both your voice and your eyes.  Even babies of a few days old can pick up the characteristics of your voice and use the speech patterns later on when they learn to speak.  You should also sing to him any song that is familiar to you, not only children’s songs.  He will love to hear the sound of your voice as you communicate with him

 

 Attend to his basic needs. All babies cry when they are uncomfortable, be it due to a wet nappy or because he is hungry.  A settled, happy baby will learn faster and will be more receptive to stimuli.  So pick him up as soon as you can, cuddle him and settle his needs before engaging him.

Pick the right toys. Toys are great learning tools for babies. Always check if the toy is suitable for the age group your child is in.  Check the packaging when you intend to buy a new toy for your baby.  It’s important to choose things that are right for his developmental stage – for safety reasons and because he’ll get more out of a toy that he’s physically ready to play with. For example,  a 6-month old baby cannot play with a wind-up toy but will enjoy a toy with a special texture or bright color.

 Baby books. Even tiny babies enjoy the experience of sitting on your lap and looking at bright pictures of everyday things he’ll recognize, such as animals or toys. Choose books that are made of cardboard or cloth because they’re designed to be chewed and touched.

Everyday classroom. Go out every day, to the shops, the park, your local parent and baby group, to visit friends or just for a walk. The change of scene is stimulating for you and your baby.

Use Flashcards.  Start your baby on the path of reading by flashing white cards with big words in red.  The use of flashcards to help children read and learn math has been well researched by Glenn Doman.  There are ready-made ones or you can make them using white hard paper or cardboard and use a red felt-tip pen.  To save time, you can also use a specially designed  children’s educational software to generate the words for you on a computer screen. 

A good learning tool for babies incorporated in a computer software should also flash math dot cards and other picture images on screen to accelerate your child’s development.  You can save your lessons plans for use later and as many times as you wish.  You will be surprised how inexpensive a good program can be and it’ll pay huge dividends later when your child enters school.

 So start your child early on the path of learning. Remember it does not have to take much time to bring out the genius in your child, a few minutes a day can make a huge difference in your child’s life-long learning quest.

Product Description
Compiled by Patrick Hanks, one of the world’s leading authorities on names and naming, this brand new edition of Babies’ Names provides all the help you’ll need to find the right name for your newborn.
This edition contains over 2,500 names commonly used in the English-speaking world–ranging from traditional names from Katherine and Michael, Jane and William, to more recent coinages such as Bryn or Chelsea. Readers will find inspiration from plants (“Azalea,” “Olive”), from precious stones (“Amber,” “Ruby”), from mythological gods and goddesses (“Irene,” “Iris”), from the Bible (“Aaron,” “Adam,” Miriam,” “Naomi”), and much more. Each entry includes the origins and history of the name and, when possible, notable bearers of the name in life and in literature. Some of the entries include pronunciations, so that we learn that Ngaio (a New Zealand name, deriving from the Maori word meaning “clever”) is pronounced “nye-oh.” The book is filled with curious facts and interesting tales. We learn that “Casey” comes from folk hero Casey Jones, who acquired the nickname from his birthplace, Cayce, Kentucky. “Brock” was originally a nickname for someone resembling a badger. And “Rose” probably doesn’t derive from the flower, but from Germanic words for either “horse” (Hros) or “fame” (Hrod).
The Fourth Edition has been revised and updated, and now contains a fascinating article on how to find the right name or create your own. In addition, an appendix includes thematic indexes for many name categories such as Biblical names, names from television and films, names from literature and popular culture, pet forms and nicknames, as well a list of the most popular names by year and by region.
