The science of child development shows that the foundation for sound mental health is built early in life, as early experiences—which include children’s relationships with parents, caregivers, relatives, teachers, and peers—shape the architecture of the developing brain. Disruptions in this developmental process can impair a child’s capacities for learning and relating to others, with lifelong implications. This summary explains why many costly problems for society, ranging from the failure to complete high school to incarceration, could be dramatically reduced if attention were paid to improving children’s relationships and experiences early in life.About

Figuring out how and what they are physically feeling is particularly challenging when they’re feeling things like rage, sadness, disgust, and confusion for the first time. Rather than just sharing the children’s feelings, the film goes on to show how helpful breathing and mindfulness can be in keeping kids emotionally healthy.Publication Date
