Regarding the newly launched baby sensory stimulation kit, Dr Chaturvedi said, “The early phases in a child’s life, especially the first 12 months, play a crucial role in both physical and mental development. During this period, which is often referred to as the ‘golden window of opportunity’, the brain doubles in size and major strides in language comprehension, motor skills and hand-eye coordination take place, thereby forming the basis of all future learning. Keeping this in mind, we have launched this specially crafted, unique stimulation kit to enhance the development of a baby’s brain during his/her first year.”
The Box, available for sale on Amazon India website, has been developed and manufactured in India by local craftsmen. Majority of the items in the kit are made of wood and cloth, which are children friendly and non-toxic. As per Shweta Dua, the Academic & Research Head of the organisation, “We are going Vocal for Local with the Brainy Bear Box by supporting the local craftsmen. This product has been made by our team keeping the Atma nirbhar Bharat theme in mind”.

“The journey of parenting is a rollercoaster ride. It comes with joys, triumphs, hurdles, self-doubt and even guilt. It is often said that parenting can never be taught but being well informed of your child’s developmental phases will definitely make you enjoy this ride more. Going forward, we plan to introduce a series of systematic learning aids for young children to enable their proper growth and development”, added Dr Chaturvedi.
