Many Kids Make Smart Play

WANT your child smart and creative? Begin to pass the days with your baby or your child with fun activities. This activity will provide stimulation for the child's brain.

Yes, the stimulation in question was the efforts of parents or family to invite children to play in an atmosphere of joy and affection. Play activities and atmosphere of love is important in order to stimulate the sensory system, train the fine and gross motor skills, communication skills and the child's feelings and thoughts.

As described expert and child development consultant, Dr. Soedjatmiko SpA (K), stimulation or stimulation from an early age is one of the most important external factor in determining the child's intelligence. In addition to stimulation, there are other external factors that influence the quality of the intelligence of a child's nutritional intake, proper parenting and affection towards children.

Why stimulation has an important role? Soedjatmiko confirmed that stimulation or stimulation largely determines the quality of the development of human brain cells even in the womb.

"The more varied stimuli received by infants and toddlers, the more complex the structure of the synapse or the relationship between cells of the brain. The more frequent and the strength of stimulation received, the increasingly strong relationship between cells of the brain. The more complex and stronger the synapse, the higher and of varying intelligence of children," said Soedjatmiko on the sidelines of a press conference Smart Parents Conference, Wednesday (23 / 7) in Jakarta.

He further explained that human brain cells are formed from three-four months in the womb and will continue until the age of three or four years. Not surprisingly, this age range are also often referred to as the golden years period. At this time, the number of brain cells can grow up to billions, although initially there is no relationship between cells.

"Well, here the importance of the role of parents in shaping and determining the sequence relationships between cells is so qualified and complex ways to stimulation," he said

Former chairman of the Central Executive III Indonesian Pediatric Association explains, stimulation can be performed as early as possible since the fetus in the womb by bringing the fetus chat, sing songs, play songs through the radio cassette attached to the mother's abdomen or recite prayers as he ran his mother's belly ngelus.

While entering the age of infants and toddlers, stimulation activities can be more diverse, such as bathing, diapering, feeding, feeding the food, holding, walk, play until bedtime.

Examples of stimulation for infants 0 to 3 months for example, seek comfort, safe and fun, hugging, holding, looking into the eyes baby, bring a smile, talk, hiding the various sounds or music alternately, hang brightly colored and moving objects, the objects off, toppled baby from side to side, stomach, back, stimulated to hold toys.

Importantly, continued Soedjatmiko, stimulation should be performed every day in an atmosphere of fun and loving. Stimulation should also vary adjusted age and developmental abilities of children and should be done by parents or family.
