JAKARTA - Pediatrician dr. Andreas Sp.A said that overstimulation would actually result in setbacks in the ability of the child's brain.

"In fact, children who overstimulate further undermine their brain skills than children of their age," he said in a discussion on 'The Importance of Healthy Implementation for Child Immunity and Intelligence' reported ANTARA, Tuesday, December 23.

Andreas said stimulation needs to be done in accordance with the recommendations for the development of his age or so-called milestones.

Parents can help stimulate their child's development by accompanying them to play or inviting them to do physical activities together, and actively seeking information about the standards of millennials according to their child's age.

"Don't leave the child to watch, play gadgets, play cellphones. Stay monitored, the development is accompanied by stimulation," said Andreas.

He said, if children are overstimulated that do not match their age, as a result, children become stressed in their daily lives, often cry, and scream.

"For example, children are given stimulation of giving replacement food every day, so children can't get to know the food, so they keep crying, shouting, the excitement is that the child is stressed," said Andreas.

In addition, Andreas said that often parents are too stimulated for children under one year to be able to walk quickly. According to Andreas, this is not right and will leave the child behind motorly.

"Seven months but being told to practice later, the child will automatically not be able to catch up and even miss the wrong way, with the hope that the child will walk quickly, the sign will also fuss when he sleeps," he said.

Therefore, he reminded parents not to stimulate children to be excessive or less than their age. Because in addition to fulfilling nutrition and maintaining digestive tract health, stimulation is also very important in children's growth and development.
