Then what about us…


Development of brain is highest during the early years – 0 to 4 years.

The development of a child’s brain depends on the stimulation provided in its surroundings, especially on the quality of care and interaction that the child receives.

By age three, the brains of children are 2.5 times more active than those of adults.

Rhythm for physical development is rapid in the first 3 years.

At the end of first year, infant’s height is 50%greater than it was at birth, at the end of two years,

it is 75% greater


Importance of Early Childhood Parenting Children of highly responsive parents

quickly attain required language skills.

Mothers who are sensitive and supportive

have children who show more rapid

development of self control.

Love withdrawal, physical punishment

and inconsistent discipline are linked to

anti-social behavior.

Substandard childcare of early years

result in less favorable cognitive,

emotional & social development.
