The scientific evidence is crystal clear: Early experiences literally shape the architecture of the developing brain. This widespread understanding is driving increased public support for universal pre-K to enhance school readiness for all children and level the playing field for kids who face adversity.
Mounting scientific evidence is telling us that the foundations of lifelong health are built during the prenatal period and early infancy. Factors that promote positive outcomes include supportive relationships, safe physical environments and sufficient resources to meet basic needs such as food and shelter. Take away any of these protective factors or add the weight of excessive hardship or threat outside the family, and you tip the scale toward a greater risk of later problems.
How can the impacts of adversity due to racism in early childhood affect a lifetime of health? One answer lies in the particular sensitivity of young, developing bodies to the physiological effects of a stressful environment. All of us know what stress feels like physically, and science explains the source of those sensations.
Probably selection bias. Anything else is unpublishable and “scientists” openly say so (“activism first”)
