The Architecture of the Brain pg. 51, Chapter 3 In early childhood education there is a common analogy of brain development and building a strong foundation of a house. Children need positive experiences throughout the early years. Serve and return is a strategy that builds strong brain connections supporting developmental domains. Toxic stress hinders healthy brain development. After reading chapter 3, discuss what might be your role as an early childhood professional in reducing persistent stress in young children? How would you support a child who experiences/has experienced toxic stress as a result of living in poverty, family violence, neglect, abuse or family violence?
