Summary:

The U.S. is the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world. So why has our child well-being fallen to 26th? By under-investing in early childhood we are also under-developing America. What infants and toddlers need for a strong start is no mystery. A nurturing environment - safe, stable, and responsive - builds sturdy brain architecture, the foundation for future development. The Raising of America interweaves discoveries from neuroscience with vivid stories of families and communities struggling to provide that nurturing environments their youngest children need.
