Is it ever too early to begin educating you children? During the first few years of a baby's life, 100 billion neurons are being connected to one another by literally trillions of synapses. If those synapses remain unused, they could be eliminated. Use them and they're there for life. But if they remain unstimulated by sight or sound or touch, then, in the extreme, the brain of an infant will literally shrink. Nightline looks at an educational program in Brattleboro Vermont that teaches parents to focus on their children's developmental years and speaks with a leading expert on the brain and how it develops - Dr. Stanley Greenspan from George Washington University.
