- When should it be started? These techniques are most effective when there are more neural connections, precisely from 0 to 6 years. That’s why it is important to start infant stimulation as soon as possible.
- Is it same for every child? Logically the exercises and activities must be adapted to the child’s age. Each activity must be adjusted to child’s level of development.

Providing Right Stimulation at the Right time is the key for brain development.
- Basics facts all Parents need to know Brain is building its wiring system more so in first years of baby’s life. Amount OD stimulation received hands direct impact on how many synapses are formed. Repetitive stimulation strengthens these connections and make them permanent and connections which are not used eventually die out. These first years are a very important and pivotal time for a developing young brain.This intense period of brain growth and network building happens only once in lifetime. Parents have brief and golden opportunity to help their babies stimulate the formation of brain circuitry.
- Who needs Early Stimulation? 1.All babies..for physical cognitive and intellectual development2.All at risk babies…compulsary to provide early stimulation in planned and systematic manner to prevent mental subnormality.Your baby ‘s best toy is you! Interact with your baby as much as possible! Aims of Early Stimulation 1.Stimulating the child through the normal developmental channels. 2.Prevention of developmental delay.
