When we reach for a cup, for instance, neurons responsible for voluntary movement talk to each other to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>During the first three years of life, a child develops neural connections at that incredible rate of 1 million per second. Whether or not these connections thrive or weaken creates what the <a href=\"https:\/\/developingchild.harvard.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/developingchild.harvard.edu\">Harvard University Center on the Developing Child\u00a0<\/a> calls \u201cthe architecture\u201d of your child\u2019s brain\u2014a foundation with lasting effects on his future.<\/p>\n<p>What determines the fate of neural connections either thriving, weakening, or even disappearing is whether or not they\u2019re activated. Every time you talk to your child, for example, neural connections responsible for language begin to fire. The more they\u2019re activated, the stronger they become. This is why babies and toddlers who <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2017\/09\/09\/the-30-million-word-gap-what-it-means-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2017\/09\/09\/the-30-million-word-gap-what-it-means-for-you\/\">hear more words<\/a> develop better language skills.<\/p>\n<p>The opposite is also true; if a child is rarely spoken to, language-related neural connections weaken and long-term language skills are at-risk.<\/p>\n<p>This process of\u00a0\u201cpruning\u201d\u00a0neural connections happens throughout our lives but at a much faster rate and with longer-lasting effects during the early years. As an adult, for instance, you can train your brain to <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2018\/02\/12\/happier-parent-happier-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2018\/02\/12\/happier-parent-happier-child\/\">be happier<\/a>, but it requires consistent focus and practice. It\u2019s significantly easier for <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2018\/02\/08\/raising-happy-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2018\/02\/08\/raising-happy-child\/\">happiness-related<\/a> neural connections to be activated and strengthened when we\u2019re young.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for You<\/h2>\n<p>During this period of rapid brain development, your child\u2019s brain is like fresh play dough, soft and easy to shape. Over time it becomes less fresh and harder to mold. This means you are in a unique position to help shape your baby\u2019s brain.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important ways to do this is through meaningful back-and-forth interactions called <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2017\/06\/04\/serve-return-brain-shaping-back-and-forth-with-your-baby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2017\/06\/04\/serve-return-brain-shaping-back-and-forth-with-your-baby\/\">serve and return<\/a>. If you\u2019re doing a variety of BabySparks activities with him, you\u2019re engaging in serve and return and\u00a0stimulating neural connections related to every area of his development.<\/p>\n<h2>What About Genetics?<\/h2>\n<p>Your child\u2019s future is based on an interplay of genetics and environmental influences. Both matter, but ongoing research makes clear that the role of environmental influences cannot be underestimated. In fact, growing attention to epigenetics (gene modifications) shows that genes can be turned on and off based on environmental input.<\/p>\n<h2>A Note About Developmental Delays<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing that the first years of a child\u2019s life are critical for brain development highlights the importance of early intervention for suspected developmental delays. In the past, a \u201cwait-and-see\u201d approach was popular, but according to organizations like the <a href=\"http:\/\/firstwordsproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Early_Intervention_02.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/firstwordsproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Early_Intervention_02.pdf\">First Words Project<\/a>, intervening without delay greatly increases a child\u2019s chances of improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Age ranges for milestones vary, but if you notice your child is lagging behind (our BabySparks program has a great tool for tracking this), talk to your pediatrician or a pediatric developmental professional.<\/p>\n<p>The marvelous takeaway from all of this is that your child\u2019s brain is literally in your hands! Interact with him, play with him, and teach him, every chance you get, right from the start.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] When we began BabySparks, research showed that 700-1,000 new neural connections were formed every second during a child\u2019s early years.
