The Social Brain in Toddlers

Growth & Development
1 min read
  • The social brain is a network of interacting brain regions that helps children perceive, understand and respond to social information.
  • The first 3 years are a period of rapid social-brain development, supporting emerging abilities such as empathy, relationship-building, emotional regulation and self-regulation.
  • Social-emotional development happens progressively as the brain matures and as children interact with caregivers, peers and their environment.
  • Nutrition and early experiences work together to help provide the biological and experiential foundations for healthy social-emotional development.
