Abstract

Normal 0 false false false TR JA X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} A child ' s experiences shape his development and never is that more true than in his earliest years . The early childhood years are a time when student ' s brain is rapidly maturing . Educators must make every effort to ensure that at school , the experiences to which children are exposed and the resources to which they have access are positive . Considering both the importance of brain development in children ’ s early years and the disadvantages faced by our at - risk populations of children , it is imperative that educators consider what the study of neuroscience can contribute to the field of early childhood education . This review examines the overlap of neurology and early childhood experiences especially as it pertains to students of lower socioeconomic status . Three significant external factors that influence children ’ s neurodevelopment are discussed . These three influential factors are adult engagement , the home environment , and the school environment . Additionally , suggestions for future research will be proposed .
