    A child’s brain development is very critical in its first 2 years. A childs brain develops dramatically during the first 2 years. “During the first two years neural fibers synapses increase at an outstanding pace. Because of developmenting neuron requires space for these cognitive structures a surprising aspect of brain growth is that as synapses form many surrounding neurons die 20-80 percent, depending on the brain region.” When a child is living in a low poverty environment it affects the child’s brain since the neurons are not being stimulated by their caregivers. Looking at a caregiver who does not interact with a child a young age the child will have less interaction with a person. This correlates with a child’s IQ.

    Another developmental phenomena as proposed by Piaget is stranger anxiety. When I was young I never suffered from stranger anxiety, according to my mother, I would walk right up to strangers like I new them my whole life. I see some similarities in my life now. I make friends fairly easy and not many people intimidate me, as far as being shy goes.
