The development of a baby's brain is the most concerned topic for every parent, after all, brain development is also related to intelligence, and babies start this process of brain development from the fetal stage. So when will a baby's brain fully develop?
The development of a newborn baby's brain is only a quarter of the size of an adult, and the brain has already matured to 97% by the time the baby is three years old. By the time the baby is five years old, the size and capacity of the brain are already very close to that of an adult, and the corresponding structures for brain functions such as memory, learning, and movement control have been established.
Parents can promote their baby's brain development through the following behaviors:
1. Communicate more with babies
Mothers can engage in more language communication with their babies. The longer the communication time, the more helpful it is for the baby's brain development. Therefore, during language communication, the baby will receive language stimulation from the outside world, and the cerebral cortex will also move to receive this information, making it more active.
2. Ensure sleep
Studies have shown that if babies do not get enough sleep, they may experience delayed reactions and lack of concentration, which can affect their intellectual development. Therefore, parents should ensure that their babies have sufficient sleep.
3. Finger training
The movement of human limbs is controlled by the brain, with finger movements occupying the largest area. Therefore, parents can use finger training to make the brain smarter.
