Gehirnentwicklung und Bindung

"The brain is designed to do one thing, and that is learn, but children can't learn and defend themselves at the same time. Defending one's self splits attention and energy. To explore and learn about the living world, a child must feel secure, safe, accepted, and loved by that world."
