What the brain does?

Your brain is located on your head. It is contained in and protected by skull because of the head.

Your brain look like a wanlnut. It has many creates and folds. It control everything we do for example blinking your eyes listing, talking, reading, writing , touching , smelling, sleeping , eating, feeling hungry,, walking, lifting, holding, balancing, remembering, solving problem, making decisions like what to where, feeling emotions like being said or happy and making friends.

An adult’s brain wets about 1.4 kg (1400 grams) or 3 pounds. It is about the size of your two fists put together.

Importance of early brain development of human

  • The brain beings to develop very early life.
  • The basic brain architecture or structure begins to develop during the prenatal period, even before a baby is born.
  • A baby brain approximately ¼ the size of and adult brain
  • By the time a baby is three years old, her or his brain gross to about 80% of adult size brain
  • By the time a baby is five year old, her or his brain grows to about 90 percentage of an adult size brain
  • A new brain baby has all the brain cells which She / He will have for the rest of her or his like the brain has approximately 100 billon nerve cells which is about the same number of stars in the galaxy.
  • Connection between these brains cells are needed for the brain to work. In during the first few years of human life, the brain grows very rapidly and many connections are made.

  • Early childhood is a very important time for making these connections for the brain to grow and develop. These connections are form through every day experiences like feeding, dressing, playing and talking with babies and you children.
  • The brain continues to develop throughout life, building on the foundation established in early childhood. This foundation is important for ongoing learning, the ability to cope with life challenges for physical and mental health and for economic and social productivity.

Factors supporting early brain development

  • Early brain development and growth needs good nutrition, good health and stimulation through the senses.  
  • Babies and young children need good nutrition and health for healthy brain development, to survive and to have energy to lean.
  • To grow and develop, the brain also needs stimulation through the senses - sight, hearing, and smelling, tasting and touching - and everyday interactions with caregivers. When babies and young children observe people and objects in their environment: listen to sounds in their environment, touch objects in their environment, smell things in their environment and taste things, they are learning about the world around them and the neural connections in their brain are being built and strengthened.
  • The brain grows and develops through everyday routines and experiences at the home and School.

  • Caring and loving relationships with caregivers like mothers, fathers and teachers are very important for healthy brain development.
  • Good nutrition, health and care for the mother and child during the prenatal period support healthy brain development. For example, regular antenatal check-ups, nutritious meals, adequate rest, calm environment, talking and singing to the baby before birth, avoiding exposure to chemicals and harmful substances like smoking (including second-hand smoke), smokeless tobacco and drugs.
  • Good nutrition, health and care for the mother and child after birth and in the first few years of life support healthy brain development. For example, exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months old, nutritious meals. When complementary feeding starts, regular growth monitoring, immunizations, good hygiene, clean and safe environment, love and affection for baby or young child: responding sensitively to baby or young child's cues and feelings, playing, talking and singing with baby or young child, reading stories to baby or young child, giving baby or young child.
  • Materials to explore and use:
  • Good nutrition, health, care and learning experiences for the young child in an ECCE Classroom support healthy brain development. For example, healthy responding sensitively to young children’s cues and feelings, playing, talking, singing , reading stories, give safe contextually relevant materials  to  explore and use

Serve and Return to Shape Brain Architecture  

Serve and Return to Shape Brain Architecture


Caregivers can help to shape a child brain through every day serve and return interaction. We can think about serve and return infections like playing a game kind of back and forth interaction between a caregivers and a young child help with early development and growth. For example, a baby and young child babble, talks gestures, or cares. Caregiver responds sensitively and appropriately to this baby or young child with eye contact, words, holding the child’s, expecting or response back from the child. This type of back and forth or sever and return interaction helps build and strengthen the neural connection for communication and social skills in the child’s brain.

All children experience some level of stress in their daily lives. Children need to learn how to cope with challenges in their daily lives, and caregivers play and important role in this though consistent, sensitive and responsive caregiving. This is an important part of healthy child development. Sometimes babies and you children may experience neglect, emotional or physical abuse or traumatic situations like natural disaster or loss of close caregivers. This can be very stressful. Without the support of a nurturing caregivers in such situation, this can put these young children’s brain development, health and learning as risk.

When caregivers like mothers, fathers and teachers response sensitively and in a caring way to a young child’s signals and needs, this has a significant impact on caregiver’s child relationship and early brain development and learning.

As children get older, interactions with mothers, fathers other family members, teachers and community member continue to strengthen neural connection in the brain.

Early child Education

Quality of early childhood education set a strong foundation for children’s learning and development. It sets children up for success at each subsequent stage of education. Children who participate in at least one year of quality early childhood education are more likely to develop the critical skills needed for later school success and less likely in repeat grades or drop out. As adults, they are heathier and contribute to social and economic progress. Despite proven benefits of quality early childhood education this has been a neglected area in Pakistan. Millions of children age 3-5 years old in Pakistan do not participate in any type of early childhood education program.
