Children's brain development is a complex process. Not only requires a complete nutrition and balanced as the "fuel" of
his, the development of the nervous system also requires the right
stimulus in order to grow more numerous and rapidly.
Stimulation needed for brain development of children must be done as early as possible. It has been suggested by various studies conducted today.
The first thousand years of life is a golden period of brain development in children. His brain has even started to be formed and evolved rapidly in the womb. Therefore, as the closest and most long to be with the fetus, the mother has an important role in stimulating this.
Mother should be sufficient for the required nutrients for the baby in the womb, and stay away from cigarettes, alcohol, and certain drugs that can negatively impact brain development in children.
When a baby is born into the world, growth is not yet finished with the perfect brain. One hundred billion nerve cells, they still need development to each other to form synapses (connections between nerve cells) in order to function properly. If this development goes well, at the age of three years of a child already has an average of one thousand trillion synapses.
Stimulation provided and parent-child interaction plays an important role in cognitive development Little later. When the baby is still small, the mother can provide stimulation of affection such as touching, hugging, holding, talking, singing, or reading a story.
Increasingly large child, parent-child interaction will be more developed and can be manifested in various forms.
To note, the quality and quantity of parent-child interaction is important, as one way to maximize brain development Small Si. This interaction can be done in a positive manner as follows:

- To make sure Little feel safe, loved, and believes that he can rely on parents
- Nonetheless, Little should be taught about discipline, self-confidence, and can distinguish between freedom and restriction
- Recommend Little to the outside world through books, music, and the right toys
- Establish good communication and continuous with Little
- Coaching Little gross motor skills and fine motor skills of children during the golden period of 0-9 years have been studied have a significant impact on the brain development of the whole child
