Then, for the assignment, answer each of these questions completely and thoroughly:

• what do you understand better, or know now after reading and watching, the text and video clips related to brain development of young children?
• what arefivespecific activities/strategies parents or teachers could use to support healthy brain development in infants and toddlers? Be very specific about the activity/strategy and why you feel it is important.
• now that you know what you know about how smart babies are, what are your thoughts about babies who spend large amounts of time with adults that do not interact with babies and/or environments that are not stimulating to the baby brain (such as putting a screen in front of a baby all the time)?
