"Assignment 4: Blog: Sharing Your Thoughts"

Optimizing Brain Development

            Optimizing brain development for young children is imperative.  That is, positive early experiences forge the foundations for lifelong learning and behavior. And, to maximizing the development of each child, a rich nurturing environment is required (Diamond & Hopson, 1998; Fischer & Rose, 1998).  The developmental stage of a child’s brain is a crucial part of their early years.  During this time of growing children experience social-emotional, cognitive and physical development as well as build positive relationships with their parent, peers, and caregivers. 

Building a partnership with families can become an essential message for early childhood professionals to help a supportive, positive social change towards their child’s school readiness and achievement.  This topic optimizing brain development for young children is critical to me because an early childhood professionals can play a fundamental role in developing the foundation of young a child’s developmentally appropriate practices; as well as contribute to a child’s success in early education throughout life.
