Even in the womb, the 7th month baby reacts to the mother's soothing touch and soft whispers. When the baby is born, he possesses the basic connections of neurons to help him survive, like the ability to cry when in pain or when hungry or uncomfortable.  The rest of the brain connections are not yet set.  If these connections are not strengthened, they will fade away.

This scientific finding provides parents an insight of this wonderful stage in their infant's life, and their capabilities to become positive contributors to their baby's cognitive development.  Since the rest of the brain's connections are not yet developed fully, what can the parents do to help develop them?  

Strengthen the Brain Connections Through Music

Soothing structured classical music especially those of Mozart have been found effective in developing the connections in the brain used for mathematics, logic, and abstract thinking. 

Early development of these connections through music and through tapes of nursery rhymes, the alphabets (any languages) will strengthen them and prevent them from fading away.
