Child Brain Development

Have you ever wondered how your brain developed and how important it was? A child's brain development is very important from birth to about three years old. Some people may not notice it, but this is when a child's brain patterns develop and the outcome greatly affects the child throughout their entire life.
When a baby is born, the human brain is a work in progress. When a baby is born, the brain has about 100 billion nerve cells. These cells have not yet made connections that form who they come out to be i.e., their personality, and emotional stableness. These connections happen between birth and three years of age. By the time a child is three, they will have formed about 1000 trillion connections. This is about twice as many connections that adults have. I asked myself the question of how could this be? After ten years, most of them start eliminating. My second question was, which connections get eliminated, which don't and how does it happen? Connections that are made everyday or are repetitive during a child's first few years become permanent.
During children's early years, parents or guardians are a very important figure in the child's life. Scientists have done research that has made them believe that the way

Parents or guardians are a child's first teachers. Research shows that what a baby sees, hears, and witnesses at their young age will have a long-term effect on their future. In order for a child's brain to develop normally, children must be exposed to the right things at the right time. From birth to six months, studies show that children should encounter visual stimulation so that the proper neural connections can develop and they do not become visually impaired. Between the ages of birth to three years old, the sounds a child hears will determine the size of the vocabulary they will hold as an adult. I find this a little hard to believe because I always thought that your vocabulary increases with the more you read. By the age of three, children not exposed to the appropriate visual/auditory stimulation start showing signs of a developmental disorder. Some of those signs are frequent falling, slurred speech, drooling, and an inability to draw circles. I definitely agree with this. A younger cousin of mine had problems speaking by the age of three. If you carried a conversation with him, he’d definitely understand what you were saying, but when words came out of his mouth, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend what he was saying. But, that lack of learning may not last a child’s whole lifetime. I also think that if a mom reads while pregnant, the child will somewhat comprehend and find things easier in school. I have seen this on a personal experience where my mom read a
