OpportunityHow to Encourage a Child's Brain DevelopmentChildren’s brains develop rapidly from ages birth through three. Brain development affects all areas of a child’s growth. There are four main areas of development: motor (physical), language and communication, social and emotional, and cognitive. Brain development is part of cognitive development. Cognitive development describes how a child’s intellect grows, and includes thinking, learning and problem-solving skills. These skills affect all other areas of development. The first three years of a child’s life are critical for learning and development. Many parents ask how they can help their child’s brain develop. The best way is to actively engage your child through everyday activities like playing, reading and being there when he/she feels stress. Here are ideas to encourage brain development: Play Play is a wonderful way to help a baby or toddler’s brain develop. Play might be a game, talking or singing to actively engage your child’s brain. "Peek-a-boo" and holding toys out to watch help a baby’s brain develop. Talk to your baby about what you are doing. For toddlers, sing songs with actions, like “Wheels on the Bus,” encourage pretend play, color and build with blocks and toys. These foster imagination and creativity. Comfort Babies can feel stress. Hold and cuddle your baby. Let him/her know you are there to comfort and help them when they feel stress. Studies show that responsive, loving and supportive care helps babies handle stress better than if care is inconsistent. Read Reading is one of the best ways to promote a child’s brain development. Even before he/she can recognize letters or words, reading kick starts language and communication skills. Hearing words and seeing pictures connects the two in a child’s mind. Repeating the same books further builds recognition between the words you speak and the images on the page. As a child grows, ask him/her to point to specific pictures on the page, like “Where is the dog?”By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreTuesday, Mar 4, 2025CULTURE AND SOCIETY+1

ArticleThe front end: Crafting engaging user interfacesThe front end is the face of a web application, the part that users interact with directly. Full stack web developers possess a deep understanding of front-end technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They leverage these foundational languages to structure, style, and enhance the visual appeal of web pages. Full stack developers also stay current with the ever-evolving front-end landscape, constantly exploring and mastering the latest technologies and frameworks. Whether it's harnessing the power of React to build dynamic and interactive user interfaces, leveraging Angular's robust features for complex web applications, or embracing the simplicity and flexibility of Vue.js, full stack web developers are well-versed in a wide range of tools. Full stack developers understand the importance of creating responsive designs that seamlessly adapt to various devices and screen sizes. They employ CSS frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation to streamline the development process and ensure a consistent and visually appealing user interface across different platforms. With their expertise in front-end optimization techniques, full stack web developers strive to deliver fast-loading and high-performing web experiences. But front-end development isn't just about making things look pretty. Full stack developers also focus on usability and accessibility, ensuring the UI is intuitive, easy to navigate, and inclusive to all users, including those with disabilities. Moreover, most full stack developers are proficient in integrating the front end with back-end APIs and services. They utilize modern JavaScript features that are built into modern browsers to seamlessly communicate with server-side components, retrieve and manipulate data, and update the user interface in real time. Additionally, they leverage popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js to build dynamic, interactive user interfaces. This enables them to create data-driven web applications that provide a smooth and interactive user experience.By: Ashika MendisThursday, Feb 20, 2025EDUCATION

ArticleFull Stack Development ExplainedSoftware development is a fast-paced, exciting field that reflects the centrality of software in today's world. From smartphones to organizational productivity to AI applications, the famous 2011 claim made by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen still rings true: “Software is eating the world.” As a result, the term "full stack" has gained significant traction in technology circles in recent years. But what exactly is full stack development and what does it mean to be a full stack developer? What is full stack development? Full stack development encompasses the complete process of application software development, including both the front-end and back-end development. The front end consists of the user interface (or UI), and the back end handles the business logic and application workflows that run behind the scenes. Full stack developers possess the skills and knowledge to work across the entire technology stack, enabling seamless user experiences and developing robust backends.By: Ashika MendisThursday, Feb 20, 2025YOUTH EMPOWERMENT+1
