reBlog from Mommy Tyme: Your Thoughts on our Children, Development, and Life
I found this fascinating quote today:
Learning is dependent upon experiences. Experience activates neurons to fire and repeating the experience causes the neural networks formed to strengthen (Gross, 2008). Environmental influences, however, can have a negative impact on brain development. Early physical and psychological stress has been found to delay the development or hinder growth in the hypothalamus and brainstem (Gross, 2008). Researchers using MRI techniques have found that severely neglected and abused children have a smaller head and decreased brain mass (Gross, 2008). Another study using MRI technique found that the greater the abuse the smaller the brain volume (Gross, 2008). Studies of abused and neglected children in early childhood have detected delays in cognition, emotional factors, social skills, and physical development (Gross, 2008).

reBlog from Mommy Tyme: Mishaps of Mommy
I found this fascinating quote today:
1. Surround yourself with successful and positive people. The influence people have over our own personal energy is amazing. Moods and attitudes are so easily spread – think about how much of a difference a simple smile from a stranger can make for your day and then magnify it 1000 times to demonstrate the power of positive and successful friends, family and associates. When you have people around you who inspire you, believe in you and want you to succeed, there’s no room for doubts and even when they creep up, they’re quickly swept away.Mommy Tyme, Mishaps of Mommy, Nov 2009
