Back-and-forth interactions, are when adults notice and respond to a child’s cues in sensitive, meaningful ways. These exchanges, like replying to a babble, help children feel seen and spark millions of brain connections every second. 🎥

Want to see a baby make 60 million neural connections? 🧠 Look no further than this fantastic video. As they bide a little time in the car, our hero and his dad engage in this lovely “serve and return” interaction. And it’s hard to tell which of them is loving it more. If you’re a new parent or grandparent, know that these face-to-face, back-and-forth interactions are one of the very best ways to light up your baby’s developing brain. At birth your baby’s brain is home to up to 100 billion neural (nerve) cells - but depends heavily on early experiences and interactions to help create the connections between them that will go on to undergird language and more sophisticated forms of cognition. During the earliest months of life researchers estimate that these neural connections occur at a rate of one million per second - meaning that 60 million or more occur over the course of this beautiful one minute conversation. Talk, talk, talk to your baby. The payoff will be huge. This loving father and son duo was shared to TT by smileybunch.

Brain under construction! 🚧 🧠 🚧 Did you know that the period from prenatal to age three is the single most consequential window in all of human development? It is here that the fundamental architecture of the brain is “wired” in ways that will serve to support (or hinder) your child’s success for decades to come. At birth, your baby’s brain comes equipped with roughly 100 billion nerve cells, virtually all they will ever have. But what these cells must develop is the ability to communicate effectively with one another. They do this by transmitting electrical impulses. And there’s no time in life when these connections (known as synapses) are firing like they are during infancy. Scientists estimate that during the earliest years of life these neural connections are being made at a rate of one million per SECOND. Pretty impressive, huh? How can you help ensure your baby’s brain is optimally wired for success? Through attentive and nurturing interactions like the ones shown here. Every word you speak, every facial expression you convey, and every loving touch is helping to create important new connections. No one can be this attentive 24 hours a day. But prioritizing time to speak, sing, laugh, and play with your baby face-to-face is an investment you’ll never regret - and one that will serve them well for years and years to come. Know a new parent or grandparent? Pass it on! This brain-building dad and his adoring little one were shared to IG by genesiscostner.

Every day, innocent civilians, including children, are killed in Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's illegal and unjust war. And ghouls like Laura Loomer will say things like, "It's time to finish the job. The back and forth is getting boring."

Face-to-face interactions stimulate your newborn’s brain in ways that pave the way for language learning. This according to fascinating new research from Dr. Patricia Kuhl and colleagues at the I-LABS. We’ve long known that serve and return stimulates the infant brain and supports parent/child bonding. But now, through use of magnetoencephalography (a fancy brain scan), Kuhl and colleagues have determined that these early interactions play a role in stimulating specific attention centers in the brain critical to language learning during a sensitive window from 6-12 months. In the study, children with the highest levels of stimulation in these attention centers at 5 months demonstrated superior language learning at five future points, measured up to two years after the initial scans. Fascinating stuff! If you’d like to learn more, check out the great summary by Kristina Compton of Early Learning Nation linked in the first reply below. And if you really want to nerd out, you can read the full study linked in the second reply. This great video example was shared to IG by babies.wonderful.

This wouldn’t happen on a bus. So why does it happen when trying to rent? Income discrimination is unlawful and unjust – but millions of renters in England are at risk of this happening every single day. Want meaningful system change? Retweet our video to help make it happen.

🚨TOM HOMAN: "If you help illegal aliens you will be charged with a felony. This administration is complicit in the smuggling of millions of people in this country. We have a half a million children who are missing, they can't find them. We're going to find those children and we're going to save them, and we're going to give them back to their family. Children have been rented to go across the border. We know what happens to these children. 31% of women that make this journey get r**ed. Children as young as 9. These cartel members are animals, and President Trump is committed to taking them out."

Mick Jagger throws a little shade at Bruce Springsteen after a NYT podcast host mentions Springsteen, claiming the latter engages in "meaningful back and forth with his audience" when he goes on anti-Trump rants: NYT: "You have somebody like a Bruce Springsteen who clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth with his audience...What does your relationship to the audience mean to you?" Jagger: "It depends where you are and what kind of event it is...my job is to make them have the best time they could possibly have...and you don't want to lecture them." NYT: "You don't want to lecture them..."

This is when you put a night light in and give the child comfort. These people are smug assholes and their ideas of everything are all throwbacks to the worst ideas of my generation and before. I feel bad for their children.

They were called Indigo Children. Now they are the adults challenging everything we were taught to accept. Years ago, Dolores Cannon began receiving information about a generation of highly sensitive, intuitive souls who came in with a different frequency and a different mission. She said they would challenge broken systems, create new inventions, and refuse to accept a world that no longer resonates. Now those children are adults, and we are witnessing profound shifts in consciousness, technology, and what humanity truly desires. Do you see these changes unfolding around you... or within you?
