Realise The Potential Of Your Baby Genius With A Brain Full Of Connected Neurons

Yes, You can have a baby genius in your home. He has a brain which is very similar to the brain of a genious since all brains have about a million neurons.  But if this is so, why do some people grow up to be geniuses while others do not? The answer lies in neuron connectivity. When the brains of baby genius were studied, it was seen that there was more connectivity between the neurons in their brains than in the brains of non-geniuses.

Are you feeling disappointed and saying that this then is the crux of the matter? Genius is a matter of neuron connectivity and that is something genetic? Well, it may be genetic, but connectivity is also something that can be brought about and the earlier you start doing it for your child, the better.

You cannot wait till your child goes to school because the child goes to school because the child learns the most by the time he is four or five and besides, our educational system "degeniuses" kids.  So one has to be innovative in producting a baby genius.

But first, a bit of information about the human brain and neuroscience which studies it.

"The last couple of decades have seen giant steps being taken in the field of neuroscience,".  Research has shown that foetuses can learn that values can be inculcated in unborn infants. But most research in neuroscience  has moved from that point in the direction of  studying the medical significance of these discoveries and the treatmentof genetic and neurological problems.

But there is another equally exciting aspect of this research, a proactive  way of using the knowledge that neurological research has given us, in the field of education. Yes, it is possible to educate foetuses and infants if he understand the word 'education' in the widest and truest sense of the word.

We have known for some time now that most learning takes plays before a child is 4 or 5, but now we also know  that we can start very early - in the prenatal stage.  This because we have proof that what the foetus goes through shapes its personality and brain.  Another exiting point is that most of this early learning that we can help the infant and small child to gain is right-brain learning, something that is badly neglected by our educational system which concentrates mainly on left brain learning.

However parents should not show anxiety and constantly test the child.  They should not have unrealistic expectations either and think that their child will be as brilliant as Einstein by five.  All children do not learn at the same pace and genetics also definitely plays a part in the development and final levels reached by a child. But there is always a chance that your can make a baby genius.
