Your brain is forever changing and will throughout your whole life, This is because every time  you learn something new it opens up a new pathway. 
During the first few years of a child's life, Their brain is growing and making new connections and pathways. This all happens when children do, hear , touch and taste during their early years, this also has an influence on their later development. During your child's lifetime  you will see the need for repetition in babies and young children's learning. Children will often enjoy and want to do the same action or experience several times.
There are studies that show children who are neglected may not have as developed brain as other children their age. Learning new skills and keeping active throughout lives seems to be an important way of preventing brains from ageing.

What children think about also changes as they develop.

UNRC and the UNICEF is a human rights organisations, their aim is to protect and promote the rights of children.
UNCRC (The united nations conventions on the rights of the child) and UNICEF ( United nations international children's emergency fund) government guidelines states that ' The voice of children and young people should be heard when decisions are made which affect them.'

Roles in early learning.
When young children are involved in decision making, we are not giving them a choice but also building their confidence and sense of responsibility which can help them in later life.
The roles of parents in supporting their child's early learning in the home environment can take different forms.

Supporting early learning at home.
- Asking your child about their day and valuing what they do in the setting.
- Sharing books
- Encouraging a range of social experiences and developing positive relationships.
- Discussing well-being and a healthy lifestyle.
- Encouraging children to give new things a chance and to try them.
-Developing independence.

Parents/carer engagement.
It is very important that parents are involved in the child's life as much as possible, many parents are involved as much as possible automatically however, some may struggle and need help with ideas on how to be involved and support them. A good way of supporting their child is to form a partnership with the setting and share ideas on how to help that particular child.
The genes that we are born with can influence how we develop. We can see this in physical terms like how tall we are, it may be something we get from our parents.
Scientists have found that our genes may not affect our development. For example; Our personalities, some children may be shy.
The experience the mother has during child birth may also affect children development.

Nature aspects
Medical conditions-
Diabetes, asthma, sickle, call anaemia. Feeling poorly may stop children from joining activities . This could affect them because they may feel different from other children.

Personality and temperament-
Shyness, curiosity, outgoing. Children who have an outgoing personality may be more interested in joining in with activities and may find it easier to make friends . However children who are shy will find it harder to make friends. This will effect their social development.

Environmental factor.
Poverty- When families are living in poverty, it could have a negative impact on the child's development. This is because housing opportunities for stimulation and also the diet of children can be affected.

Gender- Some families may have a clear outlook on what boys should look and what girls should look like and what each gender should do. This can limit children from learning new skills and having opportunities.
