I just met with some folks who do assessments for learning difficulties and they stressed the need for babies to have stimulation on their tummies. The thing these days is to put babies to sleep on their backs to avoid SIDS, when babies stop breathing while sleeping. But they were saying that when the babies are never on their tummies they don't develop certain neural pathways which can inhibit learning later on. In the Family we used to be very proactive with baby exercise and massage and stimulation, so I just thought I'd mention it as a reminder to keep stimulating our wonderful little cuties! Another thing they stressed is using math manipulatives. They also use clay alot to make letters or numbers or to tell stories.
