- Sometimes, finding out how we work can be very disappointing. When I don't know how things happen, I can imagine things and there's something magical about stuff. Nonetheless, I still like to read stuff like this all the time.

Child Brain Development Measures of brain activity show that during the second half of a child's first year, the prefrontal cortex, the seat of forethought and logic, forms synapses at such a rate that it consumes twice as much energy as an adult brain. That furious pace continues for the child's first decade of life. Early Brain Growth During the first month of life, the number of connections or synapses, dramatically increases from 50 trillion to 1 quadrillion. If an infant's body grew at a comparable rate, his weight would increase from 8.5 pounds at birth to 170 pounds at one month old. Stimulating Environment Affects Learning A child's ability to learn can increase or decrease by 25 percent or more, depending on whether he or she grows up in a stimulating environment. Baby Talk Increases Vocabulary A study showed that when mothers frequently spoke to their infants, their children learned about 300 more words by age two than did children whose mothers rarely spoke to them. Reading Aloud Stimulates Child Development Reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents.
