Understanding Brain Development In Children

By Tanisha Berg


Science remains concerned with the manner in which our mental and physical growth take place and how these components remain interlinked and influence one another at varying stages. Brain development in children assists in determining the role of genetics and the environment on growth and the manner in which individuals are predisposed to particular events and traits. Research reveals the stages through which young ones develop and the manner in which experience and physical growth impact on one another.

Newborns will possess billions of neurons that continue to develop over a period of time and in response to environmental events and stimulation. All parents are encouraged to introduce structured methods of learning and stimuli that will aid in forming the necessary auditory, visual, and motor skills. These particular techniques are most effective in tending to the future requirements that young ones will experience with an increase in age.

To stimulate optimum growth for infant brains, it is important to introduce specific learning processes at an age appropriate level. This will involve the strengthening and the lengthening of connections between the neurons that assist in aid in better grasping of information. It further assists in the support of autonomic function for breathing, sleeping, and cardiovascular activity.

Caregivers should understand that children between the ages of 0 to 3 will develop synapses at a rapid rate. These connections form in relation to the experiences that young ones go through and therefore it is important that safe and structured forms of stimulation are provided for such developing minds. It is when kids reach adolescence that a great number of synapses are reduced and settles around the number that will be possessed throughout adulthood.

The brain continues to adapt and adjust throughout life as it assists in the ability for individuals to adapt and retain new information. Due to the fact that most neuron formation occurs in childhood, it requires maximum support while other higher order thinking only occurs with an increase in age as the myelin sheath around the brain forms. It is this sheath that is considered most responsible for the ability to control thoughts, feelings, and overall sensory functions.

For children who reach 3 years, the brain grows to reach over half of its full maturation. Learning and engagement in age appropriate activities are encouraged for young ones that can aid in improving the strength of connections while facilitating sensory operation. The overall stimulation provided will need to be presented to young ones in a structured and efficient manner.

The environment also has a great deal of impact on the growth process. Plasticity is the phenomenon that describes the ability for brains to adjust in response to an external stimulation. Introductions to new circumstances will aid in improving the responses of young ones to change. Different aspects of memory will form with an increase in age.

Once should consider the importance of educational measures in tending to and supporting optimum operation. When methods of learning are introduced at a younger stage involving overall auditory and visual stimulation, it facilitates future mental and physical function. Investing in such processes will aid in facilitating the overall health of young ones.
