Kid's brains are like building a house... you need a solid base to build upon later. It's harder to renovate and add more rooms when the foundation's small or unstable!

Sadly we still here people say things like 'babies are a blank slate', but there is so much brain and body development happening in pre-natal and early phases of life... every moment and interaction counts!

The brain is an amazing organ. Pre-natal and the early phases of life are crucial to an individual's start and future.

The connections in the brain that get more use get stronger, while the others fade away. We don't want to miss this critical period of building those connections, and therefore our little ones' brains

while we can't control the pre-birth brain development, the interactions with early learning staff in earliest years of life has a great potential

Fascinating that some connections are strengthened through repetition and become stronger and quicker and others are pruned away altogether. I understand that how we respond to what happens later (our assumptions, our emotional reactions, our problem solving capacity) is impacted enormously by our early experiences.

Incredible how everything stems from the simple pathways built in a babies first relationships and interactions. The simplest pathways seem to be those built of love, trust and connection and everything else is built upon that foundation, solid or shaky.
