"From 0-3 years old, more than one million neural connections are formed each second in a child's brain – a pace never repeated again within the human lifespan."

When babies' biological expectations are NOT met (meaning when the care they seek is frequently absent or neglectful), babies' biological systems are forced to ADAPT in ways that over time - compromise health and well- being.

 

There is a direct link between early childhood adversity and chronic illness later in life - manifesting as autoimmune conditions, mental health disorders, obesity, digestive disorders, and on. 

    

 

 

The Primal Continuum of Human Life: From conception through the first 3 years of life, is when human beings are FORMED. 

 
The first three years of life are the biological and relational foundation upon which lifelong health—and a living culture—are built.
 
  • Researchers refer to this time period as a “sensitive period" of human development.
 
  • It is when children's sensory pathways (hearing, language, cognitive functioning and more) are particularly sensitive. 
 
  • It is when children's primary attachment relationships with their Mothers and Fathers - lay down the foundation for their lifelong health, social-emotional skills, and relationships.
