baby's brain is about 1/4th the size of an adult's at birth. It is the least developed of the

brain cells in response to stimulation.

How does stimulation help a baby develop? - Answer-It may improve a baby's curiosity,
attention span, memory, and nervous system development. A baby who is stimulated

child matures? - Answer-By living in a stimulating environment, a child will gain more

connections are retained.
