This is Your Brain on Attachment

We touch on some brain science and attachment. How children and caregivers interact directly affects the child’s brain formation and operation. Most affected by this relationship are parts of the brain that regulate self-control, the release of stress hormones, and the way genes are expressed. We are not even close to being neuroscientists but we are nerds!
