Ways to Shape A Child's Brain Development
When and how to use methods for better child brain development is important; many recommend computer programs. According to experts however, it may be too late if the window of opportunity to enhance a child's brain development has ceased.
The best time will be before your baby is born up to the time it reaches 3 years old. During this time, you can create a lot of impact in your child's brain and its capacity to learn for the rest of their life.
It may appear unusual to begin even before a child is able to read, write or reason, but there are studies to back this and it has shown that all these skills begin to develop even before a child goes to kindergarten.
Recently there was a research study conducted that was published in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology [Vol. 42: 174-181], where doctors used 56 babies as their subject, and they were as young as 5 days old. Their diets were filled with omega 3 fish oil fatty acids and DHA.
The group that was given DHA definitely had a higher cognitive and motor skills and was able to beat the other group (who were not able to get fish oil supplements) based on the "Mental Development Index."
Doctors have concluded that an early dietary supply of fish oil with DHA is needed at an early age to assure an improved performance and mental development for full term babies.
Rresearch on premature babies, that was published in the Clinics of Perinatology, . [Vol. 22(1):157-75], established that babies who are not born full term also benefit from fish oil. Those given omega 3 fatty acids with DHA as supplements definitely had improvement in their cognitive and visual development.
These are just few of the several researches that can prove the secret to a child's brain development is acquiring enough amounts of omega 3 with DHA.
DHA happens to be the richest long-chain omega 3 in the brain tissue. It is said that 95% of all the lipids at birth consist of DHA and forms part of the brain tissues during the pregnancy and during the first year of life.
Expectant moms need to take in more fish and get fish oil supplements. This is good to give their baby's brain development a boost from the start and give them a good chance of having a more intelligent baby in the future.
Subsequently, make sure that you breast-feed your child during the first year. Sufficient amounts of omega 3's can come from breast milk.
A result of research was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and it showed that a minimum amount of dietary fish oil with DHA helps to significantly elevate breast milk content. [Vol. 40, 780-785]
These research results on brain development were enough to convince my wife to use fish oil while she was pregnant and while nursing our children. She also started giving supplements of salmon oil to our children while they were just six months old.
We would remove the oil from the capsules and place it in spoons then feed it to them. Now, we get comments on how smart they are and their good test scores can prove it.
But the best part is they are happy and healthy children too. Try fish oil on your kids and you will be thankful you did. - 17269
