A Child’s First 2,000 Days: What’s the Brain Got to Do With It?
Why are young children the most creative creatures on the planet, and how do they learn more in the first five years of life than during any other five-year period in their lifetimes? Take a visual tour of brain development through the first 2,000 days of a child’s life, and learn about the role we play in developing a child’s mind during this incredible—and consequential—period.
