Emotions - The First 2000 Days

Your baby is now two years old and is learning how to handle her impulsive behaviors. She is not able to wait for anything because that section of  her brain that is responsible for conscious, voluntary actions is not fully developed as yet(the cerebral cortex). She will begin to throw herself on the floor when she does not get what she wants in a minute, she will begin hitting you or anything that is close by. You need to explain to her that she will get what she wants soon this behavior will continue for a while but you need to be consistent with your discussion be calm and you will need to be patient. Once your two year old is able to express her needs she will not be so impulsive. Alpha - linolenic  is a part of the brain that is responsible for receiving and integrating emotions and emotional information.

The Brocas Area is located in the frontal lobe of the brain and it controls the production of spoken words and written language. Your two year old is  working on the development of speech ,however you have to help her by speaking with her and helping her to expand her  language skills. That is why it is very important that you speak with your baby in a calm tone. The cerebellum is the second part of the brain that develops therefore you need to keep this in mind but you must help to build the other areas  as they are  in the process of developing.
With a young child all the domains of the brain  must be developed  at the same as you can see they work hand in hand .

 Once you have an understanding of how the brain develops it will help you through  year number two.
