Sensory-rich activities, such as, going to the zoo, cooking with parents will helps them mature well. Children need to feel safe and confident. traumatic stress and fear could cause or destroy neurons in the hippocampus, a region that supports factual and episodic memory. You can minimize stress by giving your child positive, loving, sensitive, and encouraging feedback. Preschool is best time for auditory brain development.
