The Human Brain

From the moment of “ conception to the tentative first steps Into Kindergarten and beyond, the brain development takes place at an exceeding speed”. The book Neurons To Neighborhoods says “ the capacity to learn and absorb” in the first 3 yrs of life “ is astonishing “. As children learn and experience new things so comes the friction between autonomy and conformity this becomes a big issue with those parents who do not understand the development of the growing brain, so well explained by Dr Bruce Perry.
He says that the human brain is organized from the inside out and is the seat of all emotion, thought and behavior. Dr Bruce Perry explains in profound words, how important it is to understand the way the brain is arranged in a hierarchical order, starting with the brain stem, from the bottom up to the cortex, which if poorly regulated can have devastating results.
Dominic Gullo in his book “ Teaching And Learning In The Kindergarten Years”says that  the brain steadily and increasingly grows 70 to 90 % of its total adult size and has profound changes in the prefrontal cortex, the area of logic, thought and action. Therefore enough emphasis cannot be placed in the importance of the first few years of a child’s life and how sensitive this period is and a parent’s responsiveness is so important when this wiring is taking place.
