The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections, called "lobes": the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe. ]]> 2017-11-10 20:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/madisonpope00/iw37jxldle5w/wish/205821361 The cerebellum, or "little brain" madisonpope00 https://padlet.com/madisonpope00/iw37jxldle5w/wish/205821796
is similar to the cerebrum in that it has two hemispheres and has a highly folded surface or cortex. This structure is associated with regulation and coordination of movement, posture, and balance.

is found buried within the cerebrum. Like the cerebellum, evolutionarily the structure is rather old. This system contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus.

This thickening is caused by growth spurts of the connections between brain cells (neurons). Beginning before birth and continuing into the mid-twenties, a process called myelination occurs where brain cells (neurons) are coated with a fatty, waxy substance called myelin. Once they are coated, they become more efficient in the way they carry messages throughout the brain.]]> 2017-11-10 20:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/madisonpope00/iw37jxldle5w/wish/205822807 5 facts about a child's brain madisonpope00 https://padlet.com/madisonpope00/iw37jxldle5w/wish/205824645 1) the brain steam and the midbrain are the most active areas. ex) The brain steam controls a child's heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure.  The midbrain stimulates their appetite 
2) the development of automatic functions, senses and motion. ex) the unconscious memory allows recognition of mother an family during infancy 
3)Need introductions of a variety of experiences. ex)building the architecture  of future learning
4) by age 3 the brain is 90% of the average weight of an adult brain ex) future capacities for learning and social interaction. 
5) more active than adults ex) of the total body's intake of O2 the child's brain consumes up to 50% and the adult brain consume only 20%

2) Cortex also the most active Ex) responsible for concrete thought, affiliation an attachment
3)weighs about 3.3 lbs.
4) brains are fully developed ex) a child's brain is fully developed by the age of 18
5)  A twenty-something's brain has reached its peak in terms of performance. Ex) plans, organizes, and interrupts ]]> 2017-11-10 20:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/madisonpope00/iw37jxldle5w/wish/205826973 How can parents compensate for the differences? madisonpope00 https://padlet.com/madisonpope00/iw37jxldle5w/wish/205830011 An adult brain has already be where the child is and they can tell the child because they already know. For example you can tell a child that's their "right" shoe because you have already established the differences between right and left while a child is still learning ]]> 2017-11-10 21:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/madisonpope00/iw37jxldle5w/wish/205830011
