It is evident as a parent that you’d want your child to grow up as an all-rounder in every field. Raising a child is a task for sure but raising him/her the right way is a herculean task. Parents always want their child to be brilliant and they leave no stone unturned to do so. As they say, ‘Charity begins at home’, so a child learns whatever he or she is taught at home. To foster your child’s brain growth, here are 7 simple activities that you must follow: 

1. Nutrition: When a child’s body gets all the essential nutrients, his brain functions well too. Make sure you give your child a balanced diet that will foster his brain growth as well as body growth. Do not feed them junk food all the time. Try to get them to eat all types of vegetables and fruits. A healthy, nutritious meal will always keep them mentally and physically fit.
2. Dance, sing and play: Every child in this world loves to dance, sing and play. It really makes them happy and calms them down when they are frustrated. It helps in uplifting their mood and fosters brain growth too. 
3. Help your child become independent: It’s absolutely okay if they tend to make a lot of mistakes. Don’t scold them. They’ll eventually know how to do things on their own. Let them do what they want to. Set an example and try to help them as much as possible.
4. Communication is the key: No one is as close to a child as his/her parents. Talk to them about their day, about school, about friends or anything random. 

Tell them what’s good and what’s bad. Teach them new things. Help them in socializing. This will eventually foster their brain growth.

1. Inculcate a habit of reading storybooks: a very easy breezy and fun activity where a child not only learns how to read, pronounce words and enhance communication skills, he also uses his imaginative power to knit events together.
2. Draw and paint: This will help them open up a little more as children sometimes tend to tell you things through actions or drawings if not words. You might have seen this in movies where a child tends to draw or paint whatever he feels at that moment but is unable to say. 
3. Be their model: A child always tries to imitate their elders. So if you want them to behave or follow a certain way, you have to do it yourself so that they can learn from you. Help them in fostering brain growth by portraying a positive image so that they can learn to do the same for themselves.

All of these activities will help your child to step out into the real world with a lot of confidence and reasoning to back up their decisions.
