Research has shown that children who receive quality early education are more likely to succeed academically and socially in the long run. It also helps in developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

Verbal stimuli also help. Jokes, riddles and word games like "I spy with my little eye something beginning with D or N or T etc"
