Getting to Know Your International Contacts


I decided to look deeper into “Science of Adversity and Resilience” (SAR) this area of study shows us how genes, experiences, and environmental influences can effect children during stages from prenatal stages until adolescent development. This can have long term effects on a child’s behavior and their learning habits. This area gives information on Toxic Stress and the lifelong health effects it can have. It also gives information on resilience in people and communities. While also displaying some strategies of intervention which can help to improve the outcome of disadvantaged children . Also while viewing the Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” I also learned about the science of neglect in children and it’s effects on the child’s development. We would call this unresponsive care and we will learn about Occasional inattention, chronic stimulation, severe neglect in a family context, severe neglect in an institutional setting.  I learned about the three core concepts in early childhood and what they have to offer. What a child experience helps to stimulate the brain and their development, also there is something that helps to shape the brain waves and the brain circuitry, and finally we this areas shows how toxic stress can derail healthy deployment.  I was also able to learn about the “ Frontiers of Innovation” (FOI)  this area of study gathers it’s information to assist children and families who are in true need because their children needs are not being meant. This website shows us how and why a child may development at a particular speed and rate. This area also teaches us how to improve the outcome of the students. I learned so much from this website about resources.

    I believe by scientist making a more visible comment to address publicly through science how children’s brain development can be effected through certain types of stress factors such as the home environment or other harmful situations and how it can affect their learning abilities is remarkable. Therefore by focusing on such areas of stress and the factors it can play in a child’s life I believe it shows the importance of focusing on children’s backgrounds and by intervening early on will and can help children have a better outcome in early development and throughout their lives.

    Thank you for your post in this area of brain development
