Learning Begins At Birth ...

Early Brain Developent
Did you know that when a baby is born he/she is born with over 100 billion neurons or brain cells?  A baby's brain is not completely developed at birth ... it will still need to connect the neurons and strengthen those connections.

How many strong neural connections a baby's brain will have is highly dependent upon the experiences and interactions they have with their caregivers and the environment.

Birth through age five is a time of rapid brain development. After the age of five the connections of neurons start to slow down and those connections that are weaker or not being used will be lost in a process known as pruning.

Here are a few great links on early brain development:

Baby Brain Map - interactive brain development map from prenatal to three.

Nature ... Nurture ... and Early Brain Development - how nature and nurture work together to shape the human brain.

Early Brain Development - what parents and caregivers need to know.

Importance of The Early Years

I wish more people especially parents would realize how important the early years are in brain development. I have seen so many children who are just left to entertain themselves with tv and electronics with very little interaction or communication with caregivers. Thanks for posting the links they were very informative.
