Early Brain and Child Development : 

Early Brain and Child Development Indu Agarwal, MD North Dakota AAP Chapter

Early Brain Development : 

Early Brain Development All behavioral development has to do with the brain Brain development is dependent upon both experience and genetics The brain has a great deal of plasticity and can recover over time.

The Brain’s Composition : 

The Brain’s Composition The brain is comprised of four areas: stem diencephalon limbic system cortex Growth of the brain occurs from the inside out and the bottom up You are born with 100 billion brain cells There are 15,000 synaptic connections for each cell

Early Experiences are Crucial : 

Early Experiences are Crucial By age 3, 80% of synaptic connections are already made By the second decade of life growth levels off and pruning begins Increased experiences define the wiring of an infant’s brain

Slide 5: 

5 Days 2 Months 1 Year 28 Years 5

Nature vs. Nurture : 

Nature vs. Nurture During the first 10 years of life the brain is twice as active as that of an adult’s 60% of nutrition is used by the brain during the first year of life. This decreases to 30% by age 3 Genetic and environmental factors have a more dynamic, qualitative interplay that can not be reduced to a simple equation

Slide 7: 

7 Human Brain at Birth 6 Years Old 14 Years Old

Early Care Experiences : 

Early Care Experiences Babies thrive when they receive warm, responsive early care Early care has a decisive, long lasting impact on how people develop, their ability to learn, and their capacity to regulate their own emotions

Quality Care for Children : 

Quality Care for Children The way that parents and caregivers relate to young children and the way they mediate children’s contact with the environment directly effects the formation of neural pathways

Providing Quality Care : 

Providing Quality Care The child care environment provides an incredible opportunity to positively effect child development 6 of 10 children currently in child care 13 million children 45% of 1 year-olds, 78% of 4 year-olds, 84% of 5 year-olds in child care 62% of mothers of children under 6 work outside the home
