Brain development
• At birth our brains are only 25% developed
• By age 3, a child’s brain has reached almost 90% of its adult size and has accomplished 80% of its total development.
• The growth in each region of the brain largely depends on receiving stimulation.
• This stimulation provides the foundation for learning.

Experience Affects the Structure of the Brain
• Brain development is “activity-dependent”
• Every experience excites some neural circuits and leaves others alone
• Neural circuits used over and over strengthen, those that are not used are dropped resulting in “pruning”

Building a child
Building a child is like building a house, each new level built on the one below. If the lower levels are unsound, no amount of tinkering with the upper floors will make it stable.
