A baby is born with its brain not yet fully developed and the way it does develop is by experiences. Every time the infant is spoken to, brain connections are made that give the child information about the person or environment, how friendly (or not) people are, that the person will do something for the child, maybe feed it. Later, this wired-up information is used by the brain as knowledge about other people and what the child can expect from people and can give to people.

According to child development experts, here are 10 specific things parents and caregivers can do to stimulate children and ensure healthy development:

Be warm, loving and responsive.

Children who receive warm and responsive care giving, such as touching, rocking, talking and smiling, get along better with other children and perform better in school than children who are less securely attached.

Ensure your child receives 9 to 10 hours of sleep each night .
