4. Music Lessons For Young
A study has shown that young children who take music lessons show more advanced brain development and improved memory than those who do not.
Musically trained children were found to perform better in a memory test which is correlated with general intelligence skills such as literacy, verbal memory, mathematics and IQ.
The scientists who undertook the research suggested that music can potentially improve the intellect in children as young as four years old.

3. Talking to your Baby
Experts have claimed that mothers who use baby talk help their child’s brain develop better. Researchers from Northwestern University in Illinois found that words play an important role in the brain development of children even before they begin to speak.
The study suggested that an increased capacity to be able to categorise words according to their pictorial representation at an early age was a significant aid in child brain developement.
