The Myth of the First Three Years: A New Understanding of Early Brain Development and Lifelong Learning (Template:ISBN, 1999) is a book written by John Bruer. The book explains the exaggerations of basic critical period research in neuroscience "resulting in a potentially disproportionate channeling of resources toward early childhood education."[1]
First three years
The book discusses the myths surrounding early childhood development, in particular, the myth that "the first three years of a baby's life determine whether or not the child will grow into a successful, thinking person."[2] According to a review: "Parents have been sold a bill of goods that is highly destructive because it overemphasizes infant and toddler nurturing to the detriment of long-term parental and educational responsibilities."[2]
