適齡適齡適齡，重要的事情要講 3 次！根據哈佛大學兒童發展中心（Center on the Developing Child in Harvard） 的一篇研究指出，早年幼兒的腦部有不同階段的發展期，促使良好發育的關鍵，在於過程中需要配合適齡的活動和訓練。 敏感期（Sensitive Periods）  0-4 歲，是大腦突觸快速生長的階段，稱為「突觸形成期」。舉例說，我們把大腦想像成一棵小樹，如果給它適當的營養，小樹就會開始成長，枝葉變得茂密。因此，當我們提供各種感官、語言、認知和人際互動的經驗，這些經驗就會成為突觸生長的養分，使得腦神經開始產生連接。經驗愈多，突觸就會生長得越濃密，細胞間的銜接也就愈緊密。 這段發展時期亦可稱之為敏感期（Sensitive Periods），意指學習能力和觸覺均以最敏銳及最快的速度發展。  Source: https://www.leelanauearlychildhood.org/brain-development  3 個幫助腦部發育的重要事項 1. 足夠營養：比起成人腦袋，小孩腦袋每天需要的能量更加多！  2. 避免毒素（Toxins）：毒素不一定指毒品，壓力也是其中一種毒素。 3. 營造良好學習環境：除了適齡的玩具和書本之外，學習與別人一起玩耍和建立關係也是不能缺少的。
