When is the critical time for brain development in children?
The most sensitive period for brain development in early childhood is the first 7 year of life. Binocular vision and the central auditory system is the first to begin developing after birth, followed by habitual ways of responding, language, emotional control, symbol recognition, peer social skills and relative quantifying. Any or all of these processes may be delayed or inhibited by negative environmental factors such as infections and poor nutrition. During this time of our life, getting the right nutrients is essential.
