Brain-Building Activities for Infants, Toddlers, and Children

About

From infancy on, play is an important component of a child’s life. For babies and toddlers, playful interactions with adults develop brain architecture, the foundations of lifelong health, and the building blocks of resilience. Through games and activities, children can practice and strengthen executive function skills that will help them throughout their lives, including learning to focus their attention, strengthening their working memory, and developing self-control.
