The early brain development of children has become a topic of great concern in modern times. We now know that the expanding brain is influenced by early environment and emotional and social experiences. Additionally, the neurones in the brain change in response to patterned repetitive stimulation and experiences determine which neurones survive and how these neurones connect to each other (Daubney, 2010). What is emerging from the brain research is the importance of the quality of relationships that occur between a child and his or her caregiver (Oberlaid, 2007). Disordered brain circuits, caused by suboptimal relationships and environments lead to problems in childhood and is often the beginning of a pathway to problems in later life (Oberlaid, 2007). However, we now have the scientific evidence and knowledge to change a child's developmental trajectory from suboptimal to a more positive one. This can happen through early intervention and prevention strategies that reduce risk factors and promote protective factors for all children, and particularly for those that are considered to be vulnerable.
