But there has been one major payoff from our investigations of the brain: an increasing emphasis on educating young children, before they reach kindergarten. Decades of research have demonstrated that the cortex is astonishingly plastic at a young age and that many important traits and habits seem to solidify before the age of 4.

the psychology of praise... Reminds me of the quotations on praise, and the quotations of making children go through hardships...

The article offers us a comprehensive perspective on child psychology, highlighting its importance in the healthy development of our children. I find it especially valuable how it emphasizes that early intervention is key. As parents, we sometimes minimize certain signs thinking that 'it will pass,' but detecting and addressing problems early can make a significant difference in the child's future well-being. It's reassuring to know that there are evidence-based therapeutic tools adapted to the children's world, such as play therapy and art therapy, which allow children to receive help in a natural and engaging way. I also highlight the comprehensive approach that includes family and educational environment, recognizing that children's well-being is connected to the family and social dynamics surrounding the child. A recommended read for parents, educators, and anyone interested in child welfare.
