Science behind babies’ brain development can help teenagers in learning practical skills as future parents as per the University of Oxford study.

A pilot scheme was rolled out where teenagers in 21 schools took part in it. Nearly, 4,000 pupils have participated in the special science lessons that has been designed by researchers from the University of Oxford. 

The Duchess of Cambridge is supporting the project and visited one of the schools as well.

The lessons include practical tips on how to engage with babies to encourage their speech and understanding of the world.

Dr Elizabeth Rapa, from the University of Oxford, said: "In the same way we teach children about the risks of smoking or poor diet, they need to know about why experiences in our early years are so important."
