Key Points
- Engaging in face-to-face interactions with infants, such as smiling and making eye contact, significantly stimulates their brain activity and supports neural development.
- Creating a calm and brain-friendly environment for children involves using neutral colors, minimizing clutter, and organizing play areas with natural materials to reduce sensory overload.
- Spending even a few minutes of focused, quality time each day with each child helps build stronger relationships and encourages open communication as they grow older.
