Since 2014, Vaishali Bafna has been advocating a new shift in the philosophy of parenting, from a style of treating children to the style of understanding their children. Vaishali educated parents about the neurological aspect of growth and encouraged parents to become developmental partners of their children.
“The development in the field of neuroscience has opened new pathways for parents to engage with children positively for their own development by making them brain conscious. Science makes communication and actions meaningful and helps parents to efficiently educate and engage their children in their own developmental process.”
Neuroplasticity – or brain plasticity – is the ability of the brain to modify its connections or re-wire itself. The basic structure of the brain is established before birth by your genes. But its continued development relies heavily on a process called developmental plasticity, where developmental processes change neurons and synaptic connections.
