Leading scientific research has proven how positive interactions in the first five years of a child’s brain development can have a remarkable impact on their entire future. Yet parents all around the world are finding this out too late, if ever. So we let the scientific proof speak for herself, in the world’s first TED Talk about neuroscience given by a 7-year-old. Molly Wright showed the world what the results of play-based learning in the first five years can produce. The film was watched by families, adopted by hospitals as far away as Afghanistan, and shown to policy makers. But the real impact will be felt in years to come as children are given everything they need to Thrive By Five.
