Why Is This Important?
Increasingly, brain research is demonstrating the critical importance of the early years of a child's life. In fact, 80 percent of brain growth occurs between the ages of 0 and 3 years old. When children experience stress and trauma during that critical period of brain growth, cognitive, social and emotional impairments often arise. Fortunately, these impairments can be addressed through interventions that involve parents, communities and programs.
