Brain Development
Brain development begins early! Experiences, before birth and in the first few years of life, form connections in the brain. Relationships with the important people in a baby's life build these pathways and create the structure of the infant's brain. This period has the most opportunities—and vulnerabilities—for the development of the brain.
