Between 10 and 18 months, emotional and self-control connections are wired. The brain circuits that process sounds are wired by age 1. The brain circuits for math and logic are wired by age 4. Unless they are used, brain cells are eliminated. Connections that are never or seldom used wither and fade away. They can never be replaced. The window of opportunity for fully developing intelligence is open from age to 3. Babies whose moms, dads, or other caregivers read to them, talk to them, and play with them will be brighter, do better in school, and get along better with other people. Babies who are abused learn to anticipate danger anxiously; their hearts race and their stress hormones surge when the smallest threat is perceived. These reactions set the stage for stress-related illnesses later in life. How Can Physicians Help their Patients Raise Bright, Happy Kids?
