Opis

Have you ever wondered what is going on in a baby's brain? Or how you can best nurture a child's natural development? Or why exactly Bach is better than Mozart for babies? This volume seeks to explain why. No technical knowledge is necessary, as Dr Shore aims to make neurological findings accessible to all those who come into contact with young children. Everything a baby experiences in her first five years is building the foundation of life's learning potential through the formation of neural networks in the brain. Through increasing the complexity of the early childhood environment in developmentally appropriate ways, we can nurture these neural networks. The visionary educational leader must look beyond the traditional boundaries of the K-12 system, and towards the space between the maternity ward and the kindergarten door.
