Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Singing, talking, and reading influence early brain development in infants.
Introduction:
The early years of life are important for the development and health of infants. The brain develops and changes with age. Infants are born ready to learn. Children depend first on their parents, family members, and other caregivers. These provide support for healthy brain development and growth. Long-term exposure to trauma and stress has negative consequences.
