Brain Development in Children

With advances in technology over the past decade, scientists have been able to study the brain in a variety of ways to gain new understanding of infant development. There is a new understanding of the ability and vulnerability of babies and infants, and this understanding affects the work of caregivers and teachers. During pregnancy, the basic structure of the brain is formed. However, brain development during pregnancy may be affected, such as health and stress of pregnant women, intake of drugs and alcohol, nutritional quality of pregnant women.

Traumatic experiences such as abuse and neglect have an adverse effect on children's brain development. As the child matures, the developing brain changes according to the child's environment. Childhood authorities Bruce Perry has made groundbreaking research in this field in the development and crisis of the brain. His research shows that children's brains develop in turn, just like other aspects of physical development. Perry says babies and infants' sensitive brains are plastic. Strong experience changes the function of the adult brain, but for children, especially for young children, traumatic events may change their framework. Research and clinical experience also shows that childhood abuse and neglect can affect child's emotional development. In my practice, I've seen an overlooked adult client, but most people have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and major trauma that needs to be dealt with. People do not always understand why, often express and feel afraid
