n the early years, brain connections are created according to a child’s experience. From birth, new synapses are particularly influenced by the human faces that they see; smiles, frowns and eye contact. A study from Stanford University confirms that babies can process faces long before they recognize any other object. As Dr. Clyde Hertzman explains in this video, it is in this critical window of developmental opportunity that we can begin to build a secure attachment with a caregiver. This early connection is the foundation for how young children develop future relationships with others. Dr. Hertzman focuses specifically on the connection between the development of vision - and the development of secure attachments.
