On the family mental stimulation should Start Early a we have a 1-year-old daughter and we want to raise her right. I be heard that parents can increase the mental abilities of their children if they stimulate them property during the Early years. Is this accurate and if so How can i accomplish this with my baby research indicates that parents can increase the intellectual capability of their children. This conclusion was one of the most important findings derived from a 10-year study of children Between 8 months and 18 months Fage. This investigation known As Harvard University s preschool project was guided by or. Burton l White and a team of 15 researches Between 1965 and 1975. They studied Young children intensely during this period hoping to discover which experiences in the Early years of life contribute to the development of a healthy intelligent human being. The conclusions from this exhaustive Effort Are summarized below As reported originally in the Apa Monitor. It is increasingly Clear that the origins of human competence Are to be found in a critical period of development Between 8 and 18 months of age. The child s experiences during these Brief months do More to influence future intellectual competence than any time before or after. The single most important environmental Factor in the life of the child is his or her Mother. She is on the Hook said White and carries More influence on her child s experiences than another person or circumstance. The amount of live language directed to a child not to be confused with television radio or overhead conversations is vital to the development of fundamental linguistic intellectual and social skills. Those children who Are Given free Access to living areas of their Homes progressed much faster than those whose movements Are restricted. The nuclear family is the most important educational delivery system. If we Are going to produce capable healthy children it will be by strengthening family units and by improving the interactions that occur within them. The Best parents were those who excelled at three key functions 1. They were Superb designers and organizers of their children s environments 2. They permitted their children to interrupt them for Brief 30 second episodes during which personal consultation Comfort information and enthusiasm were exchanged 3. They corrected their children when necessary while simultaneously showing great affection for their children. These conclusions Are exciting to me for i find within them an affirmation and validation of the concepts to which i have devoted by entire professional career the dedication of mothers during the Early years the value of raising children the stability of the family Etc.
