Baby Brain Power - What You Can Teach Your Baby From Birth to Five

[Jerry Hunter]

Many people have the preconceived notion that children aren't ready to
learn much until they are 5 or 6 years old. That couldn't be further
from the truth. In the last century, early childhood educators have
discovered that the optimal time to teach babies almost anything is
from birth to 5 years old. Babies are wired to learn from birth, so
what can we teach them?
First of all, babies are born linguistic geniuses. They can learn any
language. This includes foreign languages, sign language and even
written language, giving babies the ability to read before their first
birthdays.
Babies that are taught sign language are able to communicate their
needs much sooner than babies that depend on verbal communication.
Babies that are exposed to foreign language from birth are able to
speak like a native with no accent. The younger we teach our babies
language, the faster and better they learn it.
Babies can also learn how to recognize true quantity. When babies are
taught quantity before the numerical equivalent, they are able to then
easily learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide.
When we expose babies to music, they are able to learn perfect pitch
as well as the names of the notes. If exposed to classical music and
told what the pieces are, they will be able to identify the music of
different composers and different periods.
If babies are allowed to spend time on their tummies, they are able to
crawl, creep, and walk much earlier than children that are not given
these opportunities. Babies are able to learn how to swim beginning at
birth. They actually know how to swim; they have been doing it for 9
months. They just need to be given the opportunity to continue
practicing their skills.
Babies are like sponges, waiting to absorb all they can from their
environment. It is our duty as parents and caregivers to create an
environment that is rich in language, music, math, science and
whatever else might interest our babies. From birth to five we are
laying the foundation for a love of learning for a lifetime.
