2. Positive, enriching experiences

Varied, stimulating and enriching experiences are key to developing

strong early connections.

Stronger neural pathways in many areas of the brain

are built when children enjoy a wide range of positive

experiences with different adults and peers.

Areas of the brain involved in Executive Function

skills also become stronger.

The more enriching and positive experiences
a child enjoys, the easier she or he will find

remembering, processing information, focusing
attention, being flexible, managing impulses and

taking control of big feelings.
