National Scientific Council on the Developing Child

The National Scientific Council on the Developing Child is a group of leading experts who study how young children's brains and development grow and change. Their goal is to provide evidence-based advice to parents, teachers, and policymakers about how early experiences, including stress and nurturing, influence brain development. By understanding these processes, they promote policies and practices that support healthy growth, learning, and resilience in children, ultimately helping them reach their full potential.
