As a parent, it is our responsibility towards our children to give them maximum opportunities in their early years to prepare them for life. It will become very difficult for the child to learn later if the fundamentals have not been strengthened as an infant.
A baby is born with about 100 billion brain cells called neurons. Neurons receive and transmit information. Neurons communicate with each other through electrical impulses and form neural networks.
The simple rule of neurons is: "Use it or lose it."
| Age | Brain Tissue Connections |
|---|---|
| Before birth - 28th Week | 124 Million |
| Before birth - 40th Week | 254 Million |
| After birth - 34th Week | 572 Million |
| After birth - 51th Week | 354 Million |
The fetal brain over produces neurons, and unless they find a connection or a “job” to do in the body, they die off. He says that under stimulation and a lack of interaction with the outside world cause cell death. The neural connections that are used become stronger and more efficient, but the connections that are not used become weaker day by day and then destroyed. Baby’s brain is actively cutting out brain connections.
The human brain consists of the right brain and the left brain (hemisphere). The left brain is linguistic, analytical and goes from the parts to the whole. The right brain learns through images, is intuitive, is sensitive to music, and absorbs the whole without needing to understand the parts. Right brain dominance exists only in the initial few years of age, then they become more methodical, logical, and analytical i.e. left brain becoming dominant so they lose this incredible ability to process information and learn.
The Mind Explorer program is not focused on what to learn but on teaching how to learn.
