The science of brain development
We now know a major ingredient in brain development is the interaction and relationships between children and their parents and other caregivers in the family or community.
In the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections (these make the brain work) are formed in a baby’s brain every second. Children are born ready to learn and they depend on parents, family members, and other caregivers to develop skills. How the brain grows is strongly affected by the child’s every day experiences and with plenty of opportunities to play and explore.
