Not because something's wrong. Because of pruning. The brain cuts whatever isn't being used. Dr. Baland Jalal says the window is real, and what you do in it matters. Affection first. Hugging and physical touch trigger oxytocin and neuropeptides that directly support neuroplasticity. It's not soft parenting. It's brain science. Then real stimulation. Not screens. Screens wire dopamine addiction loops. The stimulation that builds the brain is social. Learning to read faces, pick up on emotional cues, engage with other humans. Dr. Jalal admits COVID isolation left him socially handicapped. His mirror neurons went quiet. And finally: let them run. Cardiovascular exercise produces BDNF, what he calls "fertilizer for the brain," which grows new synapses. The last one is easy to miss: convey passion. Kids catch it from the adults around them.

  • From all the research you've done as a neuroscientist, studying the brain, dreams, neuroplasticity,

  • what are three things you would say, whether it be from a neuroscience standpoint

  • or just a practical personal standpoint, that if parents did these three things,

  • they would give their kids a much better chance at a better life later on?

  • Deep question.

  • I would say, first of all, give them affection, hugging.

  • Caring taking sort of being physical with with children

  • we know that when you touch just by merely touching you have a lot of things like oxytocin

  • and a lot of and a lot of these neuro endorphins we call them and and neuropeptides are involved

  • in neuroplasticity as well it's very very good to have a lot of that so being affectionate around

  • your children hugging them kissing them it's very important A baby's brain, we said, has about 50% more synapses.

  • But what happens, though, in a baby's brain is there's something I'll call a pruning process,
