What has research revealed about the relationship between environmental influences and early brain development, parents, peers, and our culture?
● For our brains to meet their developmental potential, early experience is critical.
● Parents are important when it comes to education, discipline, responsibility, orderliness, charitableness, and ways of interacting with authority figures.
● Peers strongly influence how we learn cooperation, find the road to popularity, and learn the styles of interaction among people of the same age.
● Our culture and norms affect our thinking and behavior in profound ways.
