Being a dad, it's not easy. Learning how to balance everything. You know, I question myself every day if I'm being good to her, if I'm doing the right thing for her, if I'm teaching her the right stuff. The brain develops most rapidly in the first five years of life. During this time, children will form the foundation for lifelong learning. Rune showed us that we didn't have to put more on our plate. It's about what we already do, trying to make those moments worth it. In the moment your baby is born, the interactions you share with them can help strengthen the connections that build their brain. Vroom has worked with scientists and experts to turn this brain-building science into something simple, something that doesn't change what you do with your child, but how you do it. We call it the five brain-building basics. Look, even before babies can talk, they're showing you what they're interested in. Look into their eyes or at what catches their eye and begin brain-building. Follow. Powerful brain-building moments are created when you let children lead the way. And you follow by responding to their words, sounds, actions, and ideas. Chat. It may not seem like it, but the sounds and gestures young children make are their way of communicating with you, so talk out loud together, even if they can't talk yet, and keep chatting as your children grow, engaging them and learning about the world around them. Take turns. Back and forth interactions between you and your children are one of the most important ways to help their brains develop. So be sure to take turns while you're talking, playing, or exploring with your children. Stretch. Make the moment last longer by building on what your child says or asking follow-up questions that expand your child's thinking and learning. When you stretch the conversation with questions like, what do you think about that or how does that make you feel? You're stretching the brain-building moments too. By partnering with families, brands, and community organizations, room is here to help trigger brain-building interactions between you and your child, using the moments you already share together. You've actually taught your child something when you don't think you're teaching. He's learned something new and he's still learning. When she gets something, it makes me feel like I'm the best mom in the world. You already have what it takes to be a brain-builder. After all, when you look down at them, there's a reason they're already looking up to you. Room. Make any moment a brain-building moment.
