Now what we know from research is that it takes 400 repetitions of an act or a learning skill, 400 times, to get one new synapse. Or -would you like to know an option - there's an option. OR, 12 repetitions with joy and laughter and you get a synapse because there's a release of a chemical dopamine."

Give your child their best life!
Stronger Reading Skills Research shows that bilingual kids have better listening comprehension, higher vocabulary and are better able to pick up on word structure. Knowing that 'pulmones' is 'lungs' in Spanish makes it rather easy to understand a much higher level word like 'pulmonary' in English. (1)
