There’s nothing like a cold glass of water when you are really thirsty or getting a full night of sleep when you are exhausted. We also know that people learn some skills more easily at certain ages. School-aged children can be experts at skateboarding after only a few minutes of practice, but grandfathers usually take a little longer. Some adults may never to learn how to use a laptop or tablet computer as easily as their children do. Brain-Building “Exercise” Different areas of the brain control different parts of our lives—the ability to throw a ball, to remain calm under stress, to figure out an algebra problem, or to play the piano. The different parts of the brain, like muscles, become stronger when we use them regularly. We can help (or hinder) the development of children’s brains by giving them different kinds of experiences to “exercise” the brain. Children need many types of brain activity, just like they need many types of exercise. If they only run, their leg muscles will grow stronger than their arm muscles. If they only watch TV or play video games and never talk, their brain might prune connections in the part of the brain responsible for speaking. What Can You Do? Here are some ways adults can help babies get the experiences they need during prime times for learning: Remember that early experiences matter. Expose children to new people, places, and things, beginning when they are very young. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Repeating the same activities over and over actually strengthens connections in the brain. Talk, read, and sing with your baby. These early experiences help strengthen language and build secure attachment. Keep in mind that everything is new to a baby. New experiences don’t have to be expensive or difficult. A walk in the park or a chance to play with the pots and pans in the kitchen can be great sensory experiences. Don’t overwhelm the baby. Like adults, babies need a little quiet time to process what they are learning before they are ready to do something new. From: www.fcs.uga.edu/outreach Desarrollando el cerebro de su bebé Nuestros cuerpos necesitan diferentes cosas en diferentes momentos de nuestra vidas. No hay nada como tomar un vaso de agua fresca cuando tiene mucha sed. O dormir toda una noche cuando usted está muy cansado. También sabemos que algunas cosas se aprenden más fácil cuando se aprenden durante ciertas edades. Los niños aprenden a patinar muy bien después de haber tratado por sólo unos pocos minutos, pero los abuelos toman mucho más tiempo. LOS EJERCICIOS PARA DESARROLAR EL CEREBRO Varias partes del cerebro controlan la forma en que nos comportamos y la forma en que nos sentimos. Su cerebro controla la forma en que usted tira la pelota y toca el piano. Su cerebro también ayuda a calmar su ansiedad y a resolver problemas de matemáticas. Usted puede ayudarle a su cerebro a “ejercitarse.” Piense en sus músculos. Su cerebro, así como sus músculos, se fortalece cuando usted hace ejercicio. Si usted corre, los músculos en sus piernas se hacen más fuertes. Usted ejercita su cerebro cuando piensa. Si usted sólo ve la televisión y no habla con nadie, ¡la parte de su cerebro que se encarga del habla se puede encoger! Es muy bueno para su cerebro el escuchar música. Tocar música y bailar es aún mucho mejor para su cerebro. ¿ QUE PUEDE HACER USTED? Lo más importante que debe recordar es que no se debe sentir mal si usted no sabía éstas cosas cuando su niño era más pequeño. Todos nosotros continuamos aprendiendo por el resto de nuestras vidas. Piense en todos los músicos,atletas y científicos. Sus padres tampoco sabían sobre éstas cosas. ¡Pero aún así sus cerebros funcionan muy bien! Cuando usted juegue con su bebé, observe como aprende sobre lascosas que están a su alrededor. Ofrézcale a su bebé el mejor hogar que le pueda dar, ya que las ventanas del aprendizaje al principio de la vida son muy importantes. Haga que su hogar sea seguro. Protéjalo de las cosas que lo puedan asustar. Hable mucho con su bebé, aún antes de que él le pueda contestar. Canten y bailen juntos. Demuéstrele que él puede confiar en usted. Recuerde, ¡Los primeros años de vida no duran mucho tiempo!
