Smart Baby - Alphabet app for iPhone and iPad

Smart Baby Alphabet is a high-contrast Alphabet flashcards that are most suitable for new-born to 18-month-old babies. Babies like to focus on things that have high contrast because they are easier for them to see.

The period from birth to age three is a critical time in baby brain development. This is because the first years of life lay the neurological foundation for intellectual growth into adolescence and adulthood. From the moment of conception, the neurons (nerve cells) of the brain multiply faster than any other cells in a baby’s body. The more dendrites (branches between neurons) and synapses (connections between neurons) the brain has, the greater its processing power which translate to faster and more complex thinking. The baby’s brain actually has more synapses than ours – but only because it hasn’t passed an important developmental stage, known as pruning, in which the brain deletes unneeded neural connections in the interests of organization and efficiency.

The baby brain needs stimulation to develop and maintain the neurons. This will help them improve and maintain their right brain.

* What if my baby doesnt like flashcards?
Babies will enjoy learning with flashcards as they are naturally curious about the world around them. If your baby is tired, then stop. There is no need to have fixed time constraints for learning. Be patient with your baby and allow them to learn and develop at their own pace, baby flashcards are supposed to be a fun activity. Do not be discouraged if you show the flashcards to your baby and there is no initial progress. Continue using flashcards on a daily basis as your babys brain is taking in that information.

* How often should I practice flashcards with my baby?
The optimal amount of time to practice flashcard learning is three times a day, on a daily basis with your baby. The most important thing to remember is to have fun with your baby and see them grow into a confident and happy child

* Does my baby really learn by going through the flashcards?
Smart Baby - Alphabet is a set of high-contrast Alphabets providing easy visual cues for baby eyes. They will remember what they see even though they cant pronounce at the age of a few months. At probably from about 9 months (early learner), some can starts to identify the characters whenever they see one. Dont believe that? What do you think babies/toddlers will tell you when they see the BIG M?
