The early years
of a child’s life are very important for later health and development. One of
the main reasons is how fast the brain grows starting before birth and continuing
into early childhood. Although the brain continues to develop and change into
adulthood, the first 8 years can build a foundation for future learning, health
and life success.
How well the
brain develops depends on many factors in addition to genes, such as:
a) Proper nutrition starting in pregnancy
b) Exposure to toxins or infections
c) The child’s experiences with other people
and the world
Nurturing and
responsive care for the child’s body and mind is the key to supporting healthy
brain development. Positive or negative experiences can add up to shape a
child’s development and can have lifelong effects.
