This video talks about the way early experiences shape the brain. From peekaboo to meeting new people and studying for tests, these experiences form building blocks for dealing with stresses later in life. If these experiences are positive, children feel supported and safe, they will feel confident when coping with new challenges later on. If, however, they experience neglect and abuse, these healthy building blocks are missing, so stress and emotions become more difficult to manage later in life.
