Description
Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby's Brain
This book explains why loving relationships are essential to brain development in the early years, and how these early interactions can have lasting consequences for future emotional and physical health. Sue Gerhardt explores the latest scientific research, including recent findings in genetics and the mind/body connection, to show how our early relationships can shape our future well-being.
Gerhardt focuses on the wide-ranging effects of early stress on a baby or toddler's developing nervous system, and how this can impact their brain's emotion and immune systems. Understanding the importance of early love and relationships can help us better support the children in our care, and make a positive difference in their lives.
