DID YOU KNOW?

The development of a child's brain architecture
depends on the establishment of healthy attachments
with their primary caregivers.
Toxic stress in early childhood is associated with
persistent effects on the nervous system that can
damage developing brain architecture & lead to
lifelong problems in learning, behavior, and both
physical and mental health.
Children who grow up in seriously troubled families are
prone to the development of behavioral disorders and
conduct problems.
Animal studies have shown that the quality of the
mother-infant relationship can influence gene
expression.
