Why are the first 5 years of life so important?
Your child’s brain is growing rapidly during the prenatal period and the first three years of life. Even if you can’t see the inner workings of the brain, you can track this growth by watching and enjoying all of the amazing things your baby or toddler learns to do in a short period of time. Nurturing, protecting, helping when needed and sharing in the joy of all of their new experiences and skills is the secret sauce of healthy development and relationships between children and their parents.
