Want to see a baby make 60 million neural connections? 🧠

Look no further than this fantastic video.

As they bide a little time in the car, our hero and his dad engage in this lovely “serve and return” interaction.

And it’s hard to tell which of them is loving it more.

If you’re a new parent or grandparent, know that these face-to-face, back-and-forth interactions are one of the very best ways to light up your baby’s developing brain.

At birth your baby’s brain is home to up to 100 billion neural (nerve) cells - but depends heavily on early experiences and interactions to help create the connections between them that will go on to undergird language and more sophisticated forms of cognition.

During the earliest months of life researchers estimate that these neural connections occur at a rate of one million per second - meaning that 60 million or more occur over the course of this beautiful one minute conversation.

Talk, talk, talk to your baby. The payoff will be huge.
