- From birth to age 5, a child’s brain develops more than at any other time in life. And early brain development has a lasting impact on a child’s ability to learn and succeed in school and life. The quality of a child’s experiences in the first few years of life – positive or negative – helps shape how their brain develops.

While the importance of early brain development is clear, there has been a long-running debate over what matters more in shaping its development: nature — the approximate 23,000 genes a child inherits from their parents — or nurture — a child’s experiences and environment.

The basic developmental science is clear, but how do we take that science and apply it in the clinical setting? Brain development is dynamic, with different structures/functions developing at different rates and times. Specifically, structures that underlie the physiologic stress response (e.g., amygdala) appear to mature sooner than those structur...
