About the publication
With the help of technology, we have gained extensive knowledge of the rich inner world of infants and their desire to explore. The first thousand days are of great importance for a child’s health and continued development, and how the child is treated by the surrounding world is paramount. Sensitive caregiving, social interaction, active exploration and processing abstract information lay the groundwork for cognitive and emotional development.
