Building Baby's Brain | 禁漫天堂 Cooperative Extension

The early years are critical for later life. For years, scientists have known that what happens – or doesn't happen – during the first few years makes a big difference in a child's later life, and that babies who do not get enough love and attention in infancy are less likely to be well-adjusted adults. This series will help parents learn strategies to improve early brain development. For more information about brain development, visit www.bbbgeorgia.org.
