In recent years research on the baby's brain has given rise to amazing discoveries. Your brain begins to form before birth and is already able to receive stimuli, but at birth the possibilities and development multiply. At three years, approximately 80% of the brain is formed and A primary part of this good brain development are the linguistic stimuli that the child receives.
Child learning is more effective if it is the parents or those with whom they maintain close ties who accompany them in their growth, those who talk to the baby, sing to her babysitters, tell her stories… Today we talk about some guides for parents and caregivers about the importance of language in the development of children: "To speak is to teach".
Hand in hand with the nice characters from Sesame Street, emphasis is placed on the moments we spend together with babies and children, on how important family moments are and on everything babies and toddlers can learn.
The first guide includes tips and activities for:
- Talk: listen to our children and talk.
- Read: enjoy books and stories together.
- Sing: learn through music and songs.
- Development cards to use as the child grows. They show the stages of literacy development between zero and three years and suggest ways in which the child's brain can be helped to develop.
This guide can be downloaded for free, just like a small book of rhymes "To speak is to teach", which proposes different times of the day for us to recite or sing to the baby, so that we see the pages with the little ones ...
These are guides that emerged from the collaboration between Sesame Street and Valuable Small, an initiative that, as we told you a few days ago, seeks to improve the health and well-being of children up to five years of age, taking into account their great potential and everything your family can do to make it sprout and grow.
The guides are included in the multimedia campaign "Talking is Teaching: Speak, read, sing" to help parents understand that they are able to increase their children's vocabulary through simple and fun actions every day, thus improving baby's learning, so that they are more prepared to continue learning and interacting with others.
Nothing as simple as share our family time and talk to babies a lot. We lay the foundations for good communication and we will see how, each at their own pace, they end up talking and joining our games and songs lively, while opening up a whole world of new learning without limit.
