A person's
environment during his early development, as well as his personality, greatly influences his ability to attach to others throughout his lifetime.

The effect of the
environment is amplified
during the
early years: When children are in a good
environment, it is very good for their future
development, and when they are in a bad
environment, it is very bad.
A study published yesterday in Nature Climate Change showed that
early exposure to high levels of CO2
during the larval stage of
development had significant negative effects on the fish's size, metabolism and ability to sense threats in their
environment.
The research, published in the journal Scientific Reports, shows for the first time that the way in which fat is made within the body is not «pre-programmed»
during the
early years of
development as previously thought but even in adulthood cells can be influenced by our
environment to change the type of fat that is formed.
The same neuroplasticity that leaves emotional regulation, behavioral adaptation, and executive functioning skills vulnerable to
early disruption by stressful
environments also enables their successful
development through focused interventions
during sensitive periods in their maturation.
More specifically, the researchers 1) examine possible differences by classroom, school, and literacy models; 2) explore the relationship between observable features of the classroom literacy
environment and children's literacy growth
during the first grade year; 3) characterize the variability in the levels of teacher understanding of the chosen literacy model and of
early literacy
development; and 4) assess whether there are qualitative differences in children's oral discourse skills and writing skills with the school's chosen model of literacy instruction.
Early Training Benefits Instruction and interaction
during the first six to eight months of doggie
development ensures that a puppy absorbs information from its social and physical
environment like a sponge, says Jennie Jamtgaard, an animal behavior instructor at the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine.
High - quality
early childhood education programs are one way in which we support
development during these years, but family interactions and home
environments also play a crucial role.
Kimberly's learning
environment is far richer than anything we could have imagined just 10 years ago, when the Fred Rogers Center for
Early Learning and Children's Media convened a group of experts (including us) at a preconference symposium
during the 2007 NAEYC professional
development institute.
We contend that childhood temperament shapes the manner in which individuals perceive their surroundings, which influences their social interactions in a reciprocal manner and eventual social and mental health outcomes.17 This dynamic is particularly evident in
early adolescence
during which the emergence of the peer group as a more salient influence on
development coincides with sharp increases in psychopathology, 16 particularly SAD.6, 15,18 Temperament also shapes vital cognitive processes, such as attention and certain executive processes which provide the foundation from which children perceive and respond to social cues in the
environment.
Early development consists of critical periods during which children are vulnerable to exposures.34 Delays in children's development occur cumulatively and start as early as conception, which supports arguments for early investments.35 The impact of different nutrients on children's development depends on timing, dose and duration of deficiencies.8, 36 Parenting practices and home environments also influence child development and may either accentuate or attenuate the effects of poverty, which directly affects child outcomes.37 Thus, potential intervention effects can vary according to timing, exposures and environmental conditions.38 For these reasons, it is important to consider trajectories of child development across a spectrum of ages, not just any one a

These outcomes are to: increase access to prenatal care, reduce smoking
during pregnancy and afterward; prevent child abuse and neglect, increase parent knowledge of
early childhood
development, strengthen the home
environment; increase access to medical home; increase family support; and increase community connectedness.
Moreover, these efforts should begin
early in
development, as children are likely to benefit most from supportive home
environments during the formative years of rapid language growth and learning.22, 62,63 Finally, interventions with parents that aim to support children's learning should attend to the cultural context of
early development when working with parents from different backgrounds, and also consider the broader social context of parenting by attending to the barriers created by poverty and low parental education.
In line with previous research on the disadvantage of the incongruence of prenatal and postnatal
environments on
early child
development [25], we hypothesized that children whose mothers had elevated postnatal maternal depressive symptoms when compared to that
during pregnancy may show greater atypical frontal EEG activity and frontal functional connectivity and greater internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems.
