“The First 90%” is the title of an exciting new podcast launched by Raising Superstars, a pioneer in early childhood education. Interestingly, the title has been inspired by the astonishing fact that 90% of a child’s brain develops before the age of six years. Through the podcast, one will understand how these early years impact a child’s creativity, personality, and future success.
Co-founder Raghav Himatsingka said, “We want to spark discussions that change the way people think about early learning and parenting.” Each episode brings together diverse teachers, neuroscientists, athletes, and artists, all sharing different insights on how early life experiences can shape long-term success and personal fulfillment.
Diverse Perspectives on Childhood Development
The podcast brings voices from all spectrums onto the table. Educators emphasize the importance of the right learning environment at this tender age in life. The educators focus on practical strategies that could significantly promote a child’s intellectual and emotional development.
Whereas artists speak about creativity as a determining factor in molding a child’s mind, an earlier promotion of creative plays will enable the children to develop emotional intelligence and solve problems with greater intelligence. Other athletes bring another angle to the discussion, focusing on the benefits of kids being introduced to sports early. They explain how early physical activity promotes resilience and mental discipline qualities that often carry through into adulthood.
Neuroscientists and psychologists describe how those early days of building and pruning will influence later mental health and cognitive function. With specific examples, these presenters describe how positive childhood experiences create the building blocks for lifelong learning and emotional health.
