The U.S. is the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world. So why has our child well-being fallen to 26th? The series' Signature Hour interweaves discoveries from neuroscience with the stories of families and communities struggling to provide the nurturing environments all babies and young children need to thrive-while too often hindered by social conditions that put their children on low-developmental paths. It reveals how stresses on parents-for time, money, and resources-can trickle down to their infants and young children, literally altering the wiring of their developing brains with enduring effects. Why are so many children faring so poorly in the richest nation on the planet? How might we do better?
