The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.Child developmentUnited StatesPreschool childrenUnited StatesPreschool childrenServices forUnited StatesNature and nurtureUnited StatesEarly childhood educationUnited StatesChild DevelopmentChild, PreschooleducationCommunity NetworksUnited StatesChild developmentPreschool childrenPreschool childrenServices forNature and nurtureEarly childhood educationChild Development.Child, Preschooleducation.Community Networks.305.231Shonkoff Jack P316906Phillips Deborah457218National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Integrating the Science of Early Childhood Development.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961673403321From neurons to neighborhoods4352429UNINA
