Love boosts brainpower. We now understand that at birth, the brain is very much a work in progress. Human contact helps "grow" the brain. A mother comforting her baby, a father playing peek-a-boo, and a caregiver reading to a child are all shaping youngest minds.

Learn:

  • How stories, song and conversation are critical to "growing" a brain.
  • Why comforting a crying infant helps teach emotional self-regulation.
  • How a loving touch helps shape future human relationships.
  • How parental depression can be contagious.
  • How attachments to parents, family, and caregivers actually shape youngest minds.
  • How experience begins in the womb. A one-pound fetus already has 100 billion brain cells.
