Developmental Notes: Feathers Week 2

Movement Variety: Moving in a variety of ways gives baby a chance to “see the world” from many perspectives, thus strengthening neural pathways.

Variety of Sounds: Exposure to a variety of sounds and rhythms is critical to intellectual development. Varied exposure leads to language proficiency, spatial reasoning, and temporal reasoning. It also increases understanding of moods and emotions.

Repetition: One method of learning for young children is repetition. Repetition of experience provides stabilization of the brain’s neural pathways.

Enriched Environments: Environments enriched with music and movement allow brain cells and neuropathways to be strengthened and expanded. With more interconnections, the brain learns and remembers more effectively.
