Interactive Web Feature Explains the Science of Early Child Development

The Center for the Developing Child at Harvard University recently added a new interactive feature to their Web site that explains core concepts in the science of early childhood development through images and text. It discusses how brains are built over time; the interaction of genes and experience; the damage caused by chronic, unrelenting adversity (“toxic stress”); and why early intervention matters to all of us.
