CHENNAI: There probably is more to bringing up babies than changing diapers.

Academicians at Aspire Learning have designed a programme titled `My smart baby' for mothers of children that are 3 to 48-months old.

The programme, which trains mothers to gradually introduce various concepts to infants and babies a few years old, claims to develop faculties of the child's right brain.

"We have designed cards with pictures, words and dots representing numbers. When these are shown to the child in a systematic fashion, it is possible that the child comfortably finishes a Harry Potter novel in about five hours when he is just five-years-old," says N. Madhumati of Aspire Learning.

The programme, though based on research modules around the world, has been `customised' to the Indian context.

"The child registers information shown in the cards as images. It does not analyse or interpret. But since development of the right brain occurs right from the foetus stage till when the child is about five-years-old, enabling the child to use his or her right brain from then will reap great benefits later," says K. Swaminathan of Aspire.

A training programme for mothers will be held on Saturday.
