PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -By age 5, a child’s brain reaches 90% of its adult capacity, developing more than 1, 000, 000 new neural connections every second. Early learning experiences lay the foundation in the brain’s architecture that will develop into deep, or shallow, roots for learning, health, and lifelong success.

Detailed explanation-2: -Infants typically grow about 10 inches (25 centimeters) during the first year, and height at 5 years is about double the birth length. Most boys reach half their adult height by about age 2 years. Most girls reach half their adult height at about age 19 months.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the first 5 years of life, positive experiences and warm, responsive relationships stimulate children’s development, creating millions of connections in their brains. In fact, children’s brains develop connections faster in the first 5 years than at any other time in their lives.
