Can Stimulation Affect Early Brain Development?
December 17th, 2009It has been a point of contention for many, many years now. At what point is the brain most receptive to stimulus that can shape its development? Growing up as a child, I remember that kindergarten was just a glorified daycare. The school day consisted of blocks, trucks, naptime, and snack time. The most education we received was reading time where we all sat in a circle and were read to by the teacher. If we were lucky, we got to see the pictures. It was designed more to accustom us to the social aspect of leaving our mothers for the day and spending it with other kids. It wasn’t until the first grade that we even began learning the letters of the alphabet.
