The couple was blessed with the first child born on 19th July 2020. <\/p>\n<p>Last year, Ange Kagame joined the \u2018Parenting Month\u2019 campaign in Rwanda by sharing tips for parents on how to boost their babies\u2019 brain development through play.<\/p>\n<p>The month-long campaign was launched on 1st June 2021, by the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion, the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) Rwanda, and other partners to promote positive parenting.<\/p>\n<p>In the video released last year by UNICEF Rwanda; Ange Kagame, talked about how a baby\u2019s brain develops most in the first 1,000 days at a pace never repeated again.<\/p>\n<p>The video explains the various techniques such as \u2018serve and return\u2019 that parents can use to strengthen their bond with their babies while ensuring their holistic development.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Ange Kagame highlighted the role of both parents, male and female in the overall development of their baby.<\/p>\n<p>In the earliest years of life, a child\u2019s brain develops at an astounding speed of more than 1 million new neural connections every second.<\/p>\n<p>This period offers once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shape a child\u2019s ability to learn, grow, form healthy relationships, and contribute fully to society in adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>Parents are the key providers of health, nutrition, stimulation, opportunities for early learning, and protection that babies need for healthy brain development. Another area where parents can contribute significantly to a child\u2019s development is by playing with the baby.<\/p>\n<p>This helps babies learn and build crucial life skills \u2013 from problem-solving to expressing ideas \u2013 and strengthening the bond between child and parent.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-43374 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/fyhekr-wqaaxie2_1_-53d7e.jpg\" alt=\"President Kagame has shared a photograph of his granddaughter holding the newly born baby. \" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-43375 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/52168065912_26d70e2f64_b-02d15.jpg\" alt=\"Ange Kagame with her husband arriving at a venue for CHOGM dinner at Kigali Convention Centre. \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{President Paul Kagame has congratulated his daughter, Ange Kagame and her husband Bertrand Ndengeyingoma on giving birth to their second child.} <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72,75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-46205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-featured-news-home","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46205\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46205"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=46205"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=46205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
