Child development: the first five years

In the first five years of life, your child's brain develops more and faster than at any other time in his life. The early experiences your child has – the things he sees, hears, touches, smells and tastes – stimulate his brain, creating millions of connections.

This is when foundations for learning, health and behaviour throughout life are laid down.
