Parent is the child's champion: How can young parent stimulate their child?

Brain is a neural network and neuro activity is highly active during the early years of the child, as the brain process every input from the environment. The signals flows and get processed through the core of the brain. The network structures and links gets reinforced based on the stimulation experienced by the child. Parents engage though different activities, daily routines need to be set and parents need to engage positively with the child. 


It is not necessary to buy special products and services for the routine activities. Earlier joint family setup was very conducive for the child as we have numerous relatives all engaging with the child simultaneously, with the growing nuclear family setup the number of interactions reduce. Some of the common everyday activities are

  • Love and affection which come pretty naturally need to be expressed to our children, the unconditional love allows for the creation of strong self-confidence and reinforces bonding between the family.
  • Talk and sing in the mother tongue. Continue to describe the activity that you are doing, sing as a song and enjoy the moments with the child. The descriptions provide language nutrition that helps in developing vocabulary in children and also helps connect with the environment.
  • Respond to the queries from the child.in a right manner. Never ignore any question from the child, your response provides confidence, sense of trust and emotional connect.
  • Touch the infant through cuddling, feeding and also build eye contact.
  • Modelling is a quick approach, encourage the child to imitate your actions and you can imitate the child's actions. Appreciate her action by applause and hugging as it reinforces the brain connections to further motivate to imitate facial expressions and emotions.
  • Let the infant experience the environment by taking the child on trip around the house, to the market, grocery store, park and neighborhood. This experience encourages the child to discover the entities, smell, sounds and climate around each of the spaces. 
  • Read books to the child in the mother tongue and this increases the vocabulary of the child, change of intonation while saying the words builds connect to pictures.
  • Singing songs to the child in the form of lullaby or rhymes with sounds engages the child and creates an opportunity for them to imitate

Parent plays a vital role in emotional, social and overall development of the child. Infant stimulation is very important to engage the child proactively.]]>

Why is infant stimulation so important?

Brain development in the child happens as soon as the child is born and the network starts to develop with each interaction and experience of the child. The parent starts to engage with the child through different activities starting from the sense of touch, respond to every request/action of the child, talking/singing to the child and providing the love and care for the child. 


The neural network in the brain learns from every interaction, and reinforces with repetition and conditioning. Mother is the first caregiver by feeding the child and taking care through the initial stages. The father would then start interacting much like the mother. The nurturing of the kid helps foster the emotional development of the child. 

  • Language stimulation starts with the eye-contact. Eye-contact is the first connect the child establishes and experiences the bonding with the people around. Language is critical for cognitive development. 
  • Imitation is the approach the child uses to learn, by constantly observing and repeating the actions of the people around, the child is able to enact the activities, display sense of connection, bond through gestures and build social understanding. 
  • Touch builds the sensory connect to the environment around and without the right sensory stimuli the child would not be able to grow seamlessly. Touch is a means of connection to the world around.

Parents, based on the guidance from their parents or elders or doctors handle the situation in their own way. Pediatricians are definitely right people to guide the young parents, its a journey that every parent would have to go through. Early stimulation is critical for the holistic development of the child, while doing it the right way is definitely effective and helps lay a strong foundation for the child. 


Parent is the first champion for their child, now that's a pretty challenging task. 


Online consultation with Developmental Pediatricians is a quick way to understand the different milestones appropriate to the child's age and how parents can create a conducive environment for the child. Research has shown that the parents play a vital role to support the child's emotional, social and overall development of the child and our work-life is changing so fast that we could overlook the child's progress.

From Infancy through childhood and beyond, children learn Speech, Language and other skills from their parents. These skills are learnt during their interaction with their parents through out the day. During this interaction , infants learn several skills through observation, exploration and analyzing the stimulus that is received. Parents act as moderators in guiding the infants to master their developmental milestones. For example, while babies are learning to put their first steps, parents slowly fade the support and encourage the child to walk independently. Similarly, in Speech and Language intervention parents play a major role in helping the children with Communication Disorders master the skills that has been targeted.

Children with 'Communication disorders' on average receive 3 hours of therapy or intervention program per week from the professional, rest of the time they will be in the company of their parents (excluding the school timings). Parents come in contact with children many times a day, during their daily routines, leisure time, play time etc., Communication skills, that has been mastered, has to be generalized in other contexts and with other people thus promoting sustainable communication. Parent training program is an effective evidence based approach to help children generalize their communication skills and promote independent living. By training the parents to follow the same methods and techniques that is planned and followed by the therapist will help in speeding up the learning process. It is evident that skills that are practiced intensively followed by correct prompt fading methods helps the child to retain the skills that are learnt and to respond spontaneously and independently.

  A Speech and Language Therapist will demonstrate how to stimulate language at home in different contexts. Language stimulation techniques like modelling, self play, parallel play, extension, expansion etc, helps children to learn language while doing their daily routines, activities, play, reading, singing etc.

     A Behavior Analyst will train parents to analyze child's behavior and respond appropriately. As antecedents and consequences control the behavior, parents can be trained on how to change the A's and C's  to increase desirable behavior or to decrease undesirable behavior. Mand counting, DTT and other methods help parents to promote verbal behavior, to gain instructional control, to improve tolerance levels etc.

        Parents doesn't include only mother, father also plays an equal and important role in the learning process. Studies have shown that when father's do story time it had great effect on children's language skills. Father's interact in a different way than mother's do. They play physical, rough and tough games that helps children develop larger muscle groups, balance, ability to take risks, overcome fear etc. Children who spend quality time with their fathers during their early childhood have developed better social skills, arithmetic skills, advanced language skills, great peer relationship. Involving fathers in the therapy helps them in understanding the intervention process and implement the same methods and techniques during their interaction with the child. It also helps in generalizing the skills that the child has learnt in various context and with different people.

    Take away's for parents

  • Communication is done only when there is a need for it. When children are able to get access easily to their needs then there's no need of communication. 
  • By changing the home environment and creating situations to request and express, children will learn to communicate. 
  • Interact with the child frequently and model them on how to use language in different contexts. prompt them with correct words/ phrases/ sentences and respond after they repeat it correctly.
  • Define the 'Behavior' and respond accordingly.
  • Limit screen time and discuss with the child what they have learnt from the video or game.
  • Visual scheduling can be used to help children follow their routine and complete it.
  • Reinforce children verbally and by providing tangible reinforcers for their attempts to communicate.
