Each brain cell (neuron) looks a bit like a tiny tree. As babies take in information about the world, their neurons branch out and create connections with each other. Each neuron can have multiple connections to other neurons. These connections, called neural pathways, are like an electrical wiring system. The “wires” in the brain don’t touch. They...
Each neural pathway is a circuit. Think about the lights in your house. When you flip a light switch, a light comes on. That’s because the activity of flipping the switch makes the electricity go through a circuit, and it powers a response. Some brain circuits are “activity-dependent” like that electric circuit. But others, like the ones for breath...
The more often a neural pathway is used, the stronger it gets. Circuits that aren’t used get weaker and disappear over time through a process known as pruning. That’s not only OK, it’s expected. Young kids have more circuits than they need. Pruning happens all the way through childhood and adolescence. That means kids’ brains are flexible enough to...
Since not all kids process information in the same way, plasticity is important. Some kids’ brains don’t always use brain chemicals as effectively as expected. That can make it harder to create or strengthen some neural pathways. But teaching kids different ways to process information takes advantage of plasticity. It helps neurons build new pathwa...
Kids don’t have to think about developing neural pathways. It happens naturally as they explore and learn about the world. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget came up with a famous theory about how children develop cognitive (or thinking) skills in stages. The first stage is when babies use their senses — sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell — to start...
Between the ages of 2 and 7 years, language development takes off. Kids typically learn more words, use more complex sentences, and even read a little. This is a critical time to provide children with a language-rich environment. The more words and ideas they’re exposed to, the more neural pathways they develop. Kids also now use objects to play mo...
From 7 years old to about middle school, kids begin thinking more logically. During this stage, kids are more able to make connections between things. They become “detectives” who can see clues and put them together. Socially, kids typically develop the ability to take turns, see other people’s perspectives, and understand that actions have consequ...
Teens start thinking more abstractly and with more complexity. They consider the “what ifs” of situations to figure out possible outcomes. In school, this means they’re ready to learn more complicated math skillsand understand characters and plots in deeper ways when they read. Socially, these new skills help them see that other people’s reactions ...
