The early years of a child’s life are very important for later health and development. One of the main reasons is how fast the brain grows starting before birth and continuing into early childhood. Although the brain continues to develop and change, the initial years can build a foundation for future health, learning and life success.
Because children’s brains are still growing, they are especially vulnerable to traumatic head injuries, infections, or toxins
