Children’s brains develop major capabilities in the first months and years of life. Neuron connectivity for life begins just before birth and peaks before age four. The children whose brains are exercised in those first months and years of life have stronger brains. The children whose brains are exercised have larger vocabularies, learn to read more easily, and have a much higher likelihood of staying in school and staying out of jail. Brain exercise is easy to do. Talking to a child exercises the brain. Reading to a child exercises the brain. Singing to a child helps create important connections in each child’s brain. We need every child to have their brain exercised in those key months and years. We need to end the learning gaps that exist for far too many of our children. This book explains the brain science and the basic interactions with each child that can change entire lives for our children. Three key years. Let’s not waste them for any child.
