Do you know that a baby creates 700 neural connections every second in the first 1,000 days of his life?

A study conducted by Dr. James Heckman, a Nobel Laureate in Economics, show that early stimulation of brain function during childhood plays a critical role in a child’s social and economic success.

Furthermore, the neural pathways and networks that are forged during the first 1,000 days will have lasting impacts on the person’s social, emotional and mental capabilities — very important factors which dictate the kind of lifestyle, job and social interactions he will have in the future.
