Lewis Howes shares three ways to support your child's development: consistent physical affection to build emotional security, varied social interactions to exercise their brain, and regular physical activity for overall health.
If parents did these three things, they would give their kids a much better chance at a better life.
Being affectionate around your children, hugging them, kissing them, it's very important. You want to definitely optimize for using the brain in various ways. It could be emotional stimulation. It could be teaching them how to interact with other people.
What would be the third physical?
I would say physical exercise, especially cardiovascular exercise. Obviously, you don't want to take your kid to the gym and start lifting weight, but take your kid to the playground and let them run around. They obviously do this a lot if you just allow them to instead of sitting on the iPad.
