85% of the right brain is developed by three.

And you being there changes the architecture of that brain.

There are certain what we call critical periods of right or social-emotional brain development.

One is zero to three and it's the most important because what's happening is something called neurogenesis.

So it's the growth of cells and your presence as a parent who provides safety and security, buffers your child from stress, regulates their emotions is critical to them.

Growing that right brain because 85% of the right brain is developed by three.

Like people come up to me in cocktail parties and they'll say to me, "Ah, I don't have to be there, my baby's just sleeping and pooping.

I'm gonna be around when they're talking and walking.

I'm like, you have to be here now because now is when the cell growth is happening.

Every time a baby snuggles and takes the breast and looks at you with their eyes and you sing to them.

Thousands, millions of synapses are firing.

Okay, so you have, think of a garden, by three years of age, you're growing a garden.

This is an abundant garden of brain tissue.

If you do it right, it grows, it overgrows.

You know, the flowers, the vegetables, it's growing crazy, okay.

Now, after three years old, they go into childhood from three years old till about nine years old.

It's still growing, but it's not growing at the same pace.

So say that it's still like growing a little, like the garden grows in one big burst and then little bursts.

So from three to nine, it's still growing, right, but not not to the same degree as the first critical period of brain development.

Now adolescence comes, nine to twenty-five, and now you have to prune back the garden.

Because if you don't prune back the cells you don't need, it's as damaging to the brain as if you didn't grow them to begin with.

So in these two critical windows, the environment dictates, do the cells grow, do they get pruned?

And when they're really little, you're their environment.

When they're in adolescence, you're a very important part of the environment, but not all of their environment.

They have friends, they have school, they have activities, right, it's very important if you can get to the first window to get there.

Because you don't know what's going to happen to them and you want to fortify them, right, you want to fortify them so when they get to adolescence, which is really painful and hard and a struggle.
