Brains are built over time, from the bottom up. Brain architecture begins to form before birth, starting with simple neural connections and continuing as more complex circuits and skills develop into adulthood. While new connections in the brain can form throughout life, the first years are critical for establishing a healthy foundation, with implications for cognitive, emotional, and social abilities that have early beginnings. 👉 Check out our new website for resources on how to support health

Moments like this support healthy brain development! 🧠 Our early experiences and exposures shape the architecture of our brain, providing a strong or weak foundation for all future learning, behavior, health, and well-being. Responsive, back-and-forth exchanges between a young child and a caring adult (just like this!) play an essential role in healthy brain development.
