Stimulation For Children

Two terms of supporting the development of the brain is proper nutrition and stimulation in children.  I have discussed about nutrition in previous articles that measure the child head. In this article we will discuss the stimulation for children. Initially nerve fibers of the brain at birth is only a point to point. But with the stimulation that is given routinely to make the fibers are grown and have many branches. 
So it is very necessary at the age of one to five year old received stimulation to accelerate brain development. Although we realize that children are also actively trying to stimulate their self. Such as babbling, crawling, walking, and others. So what we do is helping them to be more active to stimulate. These parents have stimulated to children, although many of those do not know that by doing such stimulation will greatly assist their child's brain development.

Measure your child's head

I had ever taken  my children to a different pediatrician when they got sick. Several checks were did by the doctor, something caught my attention was the child's head measurements. Whether the measurement is done to determine the child's abnormality, such as the existence head disease or the head enlargement out of the ordinary. After I read the tabloids head measurements were health of children is very important, because it involves the growth of the brain. However, not all pediatricians do it. Therefore, for those who have babies, or expecting a baby, it's good to read this article.
Enlargement of the head is one of  the growth sign of children. Growing up means the addition of physical size, such as weight, height and head circumference. So each month must be growth in the reach including head circumference. And if there was no increase head size in two months , there is a problem with the baby brain.
And the development itself is the lack of progress in the function of individual ability, such as crawling, babbling, and others. Children growth and development is concentrate to the brain.
