“We now know that, thanks to neuroplasticity, our brains can change, adapt, and grow at any age,” explains Tanya Mitchell, co-author of Unlock the Einstein Inside: Applying New Brain Science to Wake up the Smart in Your Child (www.unlocktheeinsteininside.com). “While we encourage parents to consider one-on-one brain training to target weak cognitive skills—such as attention, memory, visual and auditory processing, logic & reasoning, and processing speed—on a smaller scale, parents can help strengthen their children’s brain skills by choosing games and activities that use these essential skills.”
