The Science of Early Childhood Development
Video Overview & Insights
This video from the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University (developingchild.harvard.edu) features Center Director Jack P. Shonkoff, M.D., professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Harvard School of Public Health, and Harvard Medical School addressing basic concepts of early childhood development, established over decades of neuroscience and behavioral research, which help illustrate why child development—particularly from birth to five years—is a foundation for a prosperous and sustainable society.

@simplehelpinfo It’s not really about “transferring” PTSD. However, if a parent has PTSD, like any mental health problem, it may affect the child, though not all children are affected to the same degree. One resource that may be helpful is our working paper on Maternal Depresssion. (Sorry about not providing a link, they aren't allowed in comments.) Depression and PTSD are not the same, but they are often related. This paper provides insight into how parental mental illness can affect children.

@dynamite5691 There is a broad range of developmental trajectories for individual children. The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University focuses on broad trends in neuroscience and behavioral and developmental science for their impact on policies and programs serving young children. In cases of concern about a specific child, we recommend parents consult with their pediatrician or other child health and development specialist.
