Training the Young Brain

As adults, we are able to prepare dinner while simultaneously helping our children with their homework and making notes about appointments we need to schedule for the week. We can focus on our jobs when we need to and our families when they need us. We remember the phone number that our friend just gave us so we can write it down as soon as we have a pen. We take a deep breath, rather than honk, if the car in front of us fails to move immediately when the light turns green. These skills are required for daily life and success at work. Children need to develop these skills, too, in order to meet the many challenges they will face on the road to becoming productive, contributing members of their communities. But they are not born with them. It is the job of parents to equip them with these essential skills.

90% of a child’s brain development happens before age 5. (Harvard Centre for the Developing Child)

And because 90% of a child’s brain development happens before age 5, these skills should preferably be taught within this short period of time.
