Summary: "Neuroscientists have isolated three pivotal factors for "a complex brain to create itself" during the first seven years of life. The first factor is emotional nurture, that warm, empathetic relationship that grows into trust in human beings. Along with emotional nurture goes conversation; the child and adult enjoy each other's company, they enjoy talking together. The third factor is play and lots of it."--Back cover.
