Detailed explanation-1: -Loving interactions with caring adults strongly stimulate a child’s brain, causing synapses to grow and existing connections to get stronger. Connections that are used become permanent. If a child receives little stimulation early on, the synapses will not develop, and the brain will make fewer connections.
Detailed explanation-2: -In early childhood, these connections are made at an amazing rate-at least one million new neural connections every second, far more than at any other time in life.
Detailed explanation-3: -Babies and young children develop the brain connections they need in two ways: through positive interactions with their caregivers, like hearing a lullaby, and by using their senses to interact with the world around them, like reaching for a toy. Different stimuli help build different connections.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some functions like memory, processing speed, and spatial awareness deteriorate as we age, but other skills like verbal abilities and abstract reasoning actually improve.
