Stages of Brain Development - from before birth to 18

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

brain.jpgThe brain does not develop at an even pace.  It tends to develop in waves with different parts of the brain developing at different times.  This development takes place, however, in a predictable sequence.  Neuroscientists have shown that the brain is affected by environmental conditions throughout the entire process of development, even prior to birth.  This includes the type of nourishment, care, surroundings and stimulation the feotus or infant receives.  This article gives a fascinating summary of the development which takes place in your child’s brain a) before birth, b) during their infancy and c) beyond their third year.

 In an excerpt from the page, “A Message from the Authors”, J. Fraser Mustard notes:
We now understand how early child and brain development sets trajectories in the health, learning and behaviour for life.  How we apply this knowledge in our various societies will determine whether we will be successful in the 21st century.
To establish stable, prosperous, equitable societies, we have to make equality of opportunity for all young children a key policy of our societies.

What Children’s Cortisol Levels Tell Us About the Quality in Childcare Centres

Friday, May 11th, 2007

The excellent 40 page article linked below is sourced from the  Australian Journal of Early Childhood 30(2), 29-39

The authors are Associate Professor Margaret Sims, Dr Andrew Guilfoyle and Professor Trevor Parry.

Abstract
The Australian childcare profession has watched with some concern results of research coming out of North America, indicating that child care is not good for children.  This research identifies undesirable outcomes in children’s development and behaviour as a result of child care attendance.  How does this research apply to Australian children in Australian child care centres?  Australian research is limited and this paper reports on results to date of an Australian study of children’s biological stress levels (measured using salivary cortisol) and their relationship with quality child care service delivery.  Results demonstrate clearly that children attending high quality child care have lower stress levels across the day than children attending satisfactory or unsatisfactory programmes.  Poor quality child care is not good for children.
