WHAT SCIENCE SAYS
Discover what's going on in your children's incredible brains
INCREDIBLE BRAIN PLASTICITY
During childhood , the brain has incredible cerebral plasticity.
Like modeling clay, it sculpts, reorganizes, and adapts with great ease in response to lived experiences.
This capacity , which is at its maximum during the first years, lays the foundations for the future.
NEURAL CONNECTIONS
With every experience, interaction or discovery , the child's brain creates connections between its neurons .
During the first few years, more than a million connections are formed every second !
CONNECTIONS STRENGTHENED BY EXPERIENCE
Each repeated experience strengthens these connections , like a path in the forest that is traced by repeated passages.
SYNAPTIC PRUNING
As the brain grows, it sorts through connections: connections associated with the most repeated experiences become stronger , while others weaken or disappear.
This process, called synaptic pruning , aims to optimize neural circuits to make the brain more efficient and adapted to individual needs.
LEVERS OR BRAKES
What a child experiences on a daily basis matters: these ordinary moments, often perceived as trivial, can become powerful levers or obstacles for their development.
The Extraordinary Power of the Ordinary
Everyday life has immense power. Cooking with family, talking, setting the table...
These simple gestures are real brain development workshops.
These moments not only create memories, they also build the essential foundations of learning, social relationships and many other aspects of life.
Do genes determine the future?
Genes provide a basic plan.
BUT this plan is constantly readjusting itself based on daily interactions and experiences.
Everyday moments, even the simplest, therefore have a direct and lasting impact on the way a child's brain develops and learns to function.
