Making Baby Smarter the Right Way

ABC Fun Pads introduces new fun pad patterns to help stimulate baby's brain power.

(PRWEB) June 22, 2006 -- ABC Fun Pads recently added two new exciting designs to their furniture pad collection, giving babies a chance to have thrilling and stimulating mini-adventure, under the supervision of their parents.

Experts believe that the first year of a baby's life is influential in how his or her brain develops in the future.

It is common knowledge that toddlers are a curious bunch. Their brain is excited and trying to sponge up everything around them and this is when many parents make the mistake of trying to “smarten” up their kids. Some use flash cards, others use Mozart and Chopin, and others even set up a learning center.

However, experts are now suggesting that this approach doesn't particularly work and may even be negative for babies' development.

Today, most child development experts believe that the most effective way to “smarten” up your child is to simply let your baby be a baby.

Martha Farrell Erickson from the Center for Early Education and Development at the University of Minnesota says “ Giving your baby opportunities to learn through exploration is far more valuable than all the flashcards in the world. Let her experience mastery ...the power to affect her environment.”

The term “exploration” is the key here. By exploring and expanding their imagination, babies flourish in a natural and healthy way.

This is the philosophy behind the ABC Fun Pads patterned pads.

ABC Fun Pads' collection includes City Streets, which includes police and fire stations along fun city streets; City Adventures, featuring colorful buildings, parks, balloons; and Baby the Great Explorer , with exciting castles, moats, streams and more. These new exciting ABC Fun Pads can be purchased for only $39.95.
