The most successful parents do these 3 things with their kids to 'build their brains,' says a pediatric surgeon (via CNBCMakeIt)
growth happens before the age of five — and a big part of it is dependent on their language environment.
At the heart of all of our programs is the "3Ts strategy," a three-step approach that successful parents use to make meaningful connections with their children and build their brains: Tune in. Talk more. Take turns.Tuning in encourages parents to make a conscious effort to notice what their baby or child is focused on, and then to talk about it with them.
Talking more adds words to the piggy bank in a child's brain — a bank that earns compound interest. The more words put into the bank, the more brain connections a child builds and the bigger their vocabulary becomes. Add your own observations and emotions to encourage a feeling of mutual exchange: "I see blue and brown and gray feathers. What colors do you see on the bird? Do you like him? I think he's the prettiest bird I've ever seen."of our programs have shown that the 3Ts is effective at increasing parents' interactions and conversations with their little ones.
