During our youth, age birth to five mostly, our minds are making connections from the information we take in. The more times we are exposed to the same item, the stronger the connection will be. Once this connections are made they are hard to break. However, they can be broken by not using them, or a medical injury. This is why stroke victims usually need physical therapy after they have had a stroke, the connections were broken. And the older we are the more times you need to repeat, to make a new track for the connection, hence learning the skill again.
The more we teach are children early in life, the more skills they will have to take care of us in our old age. The children are the future!!!

There are things in childhood development called critical points. There are critical points for language understanding and speaking among other things. When critical points are passed, it is virtually impossible to learn these skills. That is why feral children, if found after a certain age, are never able to speak or understand language. Some very interesting studies have been conducted on feral children and they explain the importance of early childhood development. I hope this makes sense. For more info. look up feral children.

Early childhood is important to human development because its when the brain is more ready to absorb knowledge and the body develops really quickly. And also because anything that happened in early childhood that was bad will stay with you forever.

the join of two neurons is called synapse. the more no. of synapses, the better one understands and comprehends.
they say that in childhood, upto the age of 8, the brain has many, many synapses. so, a child can learn a lot of things very fast.
hence, childhood is important to the human development

It is the foundation for all future learning, socialising, and skill development.
It helps set the child on the way to finding their place in society & the world.
A good caring start can set the child up for a happy productive life. But too many early problems can lead to a troubled adult.

because when you're young, you learn whats right and wrong, how to act, and a lot about the world. when you reach adulthood, however, its hard to change the things you have learned in the past because thats like what you're used to doing and how you see things...

90% of what you will learn in life, you will learn by age 5.
