The research shows that the first three years are critical for brain development because the brain grows the most during those years at birth your brain is 25% developed and by age 3 it is 85% the size of the adult brain .It is critical that you give your baby those social,emotional and cognitive skills that are needed for kindergarten and life . Research has shown that what happens in the womb and the first 2000 days of like sets the foundation for what is to come . Many of the problems that adults have later in life can be traced back to missed opportunities to learned some skills during the first 2000 days.Many times when adults need to solve complex problems they resort to those early skills that they were during those early years. Have you wondered why as a nation we are not using science to create policies that will give us better outcomes for all children? Other countries understand that their babies are their future.
