Raising a child is one of the most important things you will ever do, and you may be wondering how to get him stimulated, developed, and happy. It’s pretty simple, but not easy: take care of their basic needs, give them love and attention, talk and read to your baby, stimulate his senses, have fun together – and take care of yourself too.

You don’t have to be a child development expert to give your child a great start in life. Research confirms what we knew from the beginning: love, attention and basic care is what your child needs and wants. To help your child reach their full potential and grow up to be a happy and productive person, follow these steps.

Scientific evidence shows that love, attention and affection in the early years of life have a direct and measurable impact on a child’s physical, mental and emotional development. Love and touch also help your child’s brain development.
