Editor's Notes
Children need the basics of life to thrive and survive. One abused child in our community is one too many. Approximately 225 children were substantiated victims of abuse or neglect in our three counties. All three of our counties are above the state rate of births that are paid for by Medicaid. The number of children 0-5 needing food assistance in each of our three counties has risen for three years in a row. Children need the basics of life to thrive and survive.

The brain is a remarkable tool and there is technology available that let’s us see activity within the brain. These are images of the synapses or “connectors” in a child’s brain at various ages. As a result of new information, the baby’s brain grows by creating more synapses or connections to make sense of this information. As you can see in these images, many new connections have been made by only 3 months of age. Each new synapse leads to additional synapses, helping the baby become more and more capable . By 24 months of age, the number of connections has increased tremendously! By 6 years of age, the synapses or “connectors” begin to decrease. Those that are not used or stimulated are “pruned” in order to make the brain more efficient. number of factors before and after the birth of a child can create challenges to their development and school readiness. Before the birth of a child, the developing brain architecture of a fetus can be disrupted by poor maternal nutrition, exposure to a variety of hazardous substances and the adverse physiological effects of a pregnant woman’s chronic stress. Access to prenatal health care can help identify such high-risk circumstances and provide a vehicle for addressing hazards to healthy brain development in a preventive fashion. After birth, providing access to a regular and affordable source of primary health care for mothers, infants and children is important in helping to prevent threats to the child’s healthy development, as well as provide early detection and intervention for concerns that could lead to more serious problems later in a child’s physical, developmental and mental health. Therefore, it is more difficult to learn new things as there are fewer synapses available, and fewer new connections can be made.
When you look at the rate at which neurons develop in children it is evident that a child’s emotional well being is directly connected to their healthy development.
High quality child care and early education experiences are critical to every young child’s development. Children who have high quality child care and preschool experiences, including support for health and emotional well-being, are more successful in later school years, are less likely to repeat a grade, are more likely to graduate high school, attend college, and become productive citizens
Notice the temporal lobes (the circled areas). The temporal lobe is responsible for many functions such as acting in a socially acceptable manner and controlling one’s emotions. The temporal lobes of the healthy child show much more activity (the red and yellow shows activity) which in this case means greater capability. Notice the brain stem at the back of the brain. The brain stem is responsible for many functions including the “flight and flight” response for survival. The brain stem of the neglected child shows much more activity. This increased activity actually interferes with the child’s ability to learn. The child’s brain is so focused on safety/survival that it is difficult to focus on learning. Overall, there is much more activity (color) in the desirable areas of the brain of a healthy child. This indicates a greater capacity for learning. A child’s environment does impact brain development. So, knowing this information about early brain development, what do children need in order to achieve optimal brain development?..............
Where do we invest our money? This graph shows that most public funding is spent after a child reaches the age of 5. However, the greatest amount of brain growth (i.e. learning) happens before the age of 5. We need to re-think where we are spending our limited, public funds. We need to invest more resources during the first 5 years of life.
From the workplace perspective investing in early childhood makes sense, too. Employees are coming to the workplace highly educated and trained.
