Abstract
Bonding between infants and caregivers is crucial in developing
the regions in the brain. The brain stem has modular neurons that
are influenced by experience, and these modular neurons can
define temperament, which will shape behavioral development
(Hart). Attachments formed with caregivers’ help provide
emotional resources for children, as well as improved learning
and memory skills.
Children who spend extended time in daycare facilities may miss
out on bonding opportunities; programs that emphasize consistent
interactions between children and volunteers may promote the
brain development associated with bonding that these children
need for optimal brain development.
