Bigger, Taller… But Are They Smarter? This Digibook Can Help Develop How Kids Think

When it comes to our children’s brain development and physical growth, it shouldn’t be one without the other. 

Yes, we should still be concerned about whether our child is growing taller, gaining weight, or eating properly. But since it’s easier to spot these physical manifestations of growth, we tend to overlook the cognitive side of it all.

Brains Over Brawn

The growth and development that occurs in your child’s little minds actually happens at a rapid pace. In fact, it’s during early childhood where they start to become more receptive to learning and discovery. 

While we can visibly see these forms of growth, the hidden milestones of the brain aren’t noticed right away.

Since it’s also happening at such a young age, parents may assume there’s not much urgency to put emphasis on their cognitive growth. However, it’s at this crucial stage where a child’s focus and critical thinking skills should be properly nourished and stimulated.

The Critical Role of Early Brain Development

Did you know 90% of the adult size of the brain is achieved at 5 years old? That’s why this is the perfect time to develop their skills in problem-solving and how they would behave when faced with new situations.

For our kids, it’s important we know ways in how we can balance proper stimulation and proper nutrition. This is where The Brilliant Hour Digibook steps in to provide you with a variety of activities to promote cognitive development – while also having fun with your kids!

Take the First Step With The Brilliant Hour Digibook 

The Brilliant Hour has been Enfagrow A+ Four’s long standing advocacy to encourage dedicating a time in a day that would stimulate their cognitive development. 

Now, we’re not saying it has to be anything complex or that challenging. What’s important is that you do it consistently together with your child. Being consistent will now allow you to visibly measure the development of your child’s bright little mind. 

If you don’t know where to start, The Brilliant Hour Digibook is your new companion in exploring creative and meaningful learning experiences with your child. 

Created by Enfagrow A+ Four in partnership with Adarna House, this interactive digital book is packed with activities that fosters learning, play, and family bonding. Not only that – it’s also available in three whole different volumes!

“It’s carving out that Brilliant Hour in a day to connect. It’s really quality time over quantity,” says Celebrity Mom Iza Calzado during the official launch of the digibook at the Mindspark Museum in Ayala Malls Manila Bay.

Teacher Ruth Martin-De Guzman, one of the writers of The Brilliant Hour Digibook, also expressed how they wanted kids to learn that good thinking is not just about giving the right answer. Good thinking involves weighing what’s right or wrong and considering whether something is going to work or not. 

“Nung sinulat namin yung aklat, ang una naming insip ay gusto naming irespeto yung the way kids think. Our children usually ask questions [and] they might give us answers we didn’t expect,” Teacher Ruth adds. “Sometimes they tend to be silly, sometimes they imagine – that’s what we wanted to reflect in the book. We want to celebrate that kind of questioning.”

All three books focus on observation, creativity, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. All of which to have kids explore possibilities in their everyday lives and have open conversations with them. 

What Makes The Brilliant Hour Digibook Different From the Rest

With so many other activity books to choose from, why should you check out The Brilliant Hour Digibook? Here’s what makes it stand out from the rest:

• Reviewed by a developmental pediatrician, so you can be rest assured you can trust its content and information.
• Will help teach children how to think, as many of its activities can be situational without a single correct answer. 
• Parent guides already provided. You won’t have to feel lost as it will support in facilitating learning activities for you to bond with your child. 
• Helps make screentime more purposeful. Kids can be more productive instead of just having their eyes glued to a tablet.
• Caters to the Filipino child’s experiences, as it was made knowing that kids learn best when they are able to connect with what they consume.

Daily Habits to Nourish Both Body and Brain

Incorporating The Brilliant Hour in your everyday schedule doesn’t just stop with the digibook. To truly make these activities a daily habit, your child also needs the right nutrition to give them proper nourishment to complete the day.

Among staged milks, Enfagrow A+ Four is the only milk with MFGM and highest level of DHA among formula milks that can help nourish your child with brain-supporting nutrients that promote higher intelligence (vs formula without MFGM, with early supplementation of MFGM, with proper nutrition and stimulation). It is also clinically proven to support faster brain connections. This enables A+ Focus, A+ Learning, and A+ Thinking for your A+ child.

So when planning your journey with The Brilliant Hour, here are few brilliant daily habits to stick to:

• Set a schedule that best fits your child. Pick a time where they’ll be the most alert and active to participate in activities.
• Pick an activity from The Brilliant Hour Digibook. Choose one that will be engaging and will activate their critical thinking.
• Make sure you’re there the whole time. Be present and spend this moment with them without being too instructive or intrusive.
• Give them proper nutrition, like Enfagrow A+ Four. Provide them with the right nourishment that can support their brain development.

With a trustworthy and supportive nutrition added to the routine, it no longer has to be a battle between body and brain. Enfagrow A+ Four can help ensure that the development of children’s minds is given the same importance and urgency with proper nutrition and stimulation.

We hope you find the time to explore The Brilliant Hour Digibook and its collection of engaging activities to create an enriching learning journey at home. The three volumes of the activity book published by Adarna are now available for FREE through enfagrow.com.ph/thebrillianthour.
