Why Children Can’t Make Decisions at an Early Age #braindevelopment #protectourkids #mentalhealth

We need to give kids the time to fully develop because they're learning, their brain is learning. And what we need to understand is that if the messaging they're given is so one sided, as we're seeing now, then they don't know any different. Their brain is learning, it's making sense of the world, it's making sense of them. And the development of the brain is supposed to be very black and white at that age. Like it's not able to really grasp the complexity of the human experience yet. But when we really love children, we need to allow them time to develop and fully come into adulthood and their prefrontal cortex before making decisions for them, because that's what we're doing. Kids cannot make these decisions at such a young age before they're fully developed.

Kids don't necessarily do what you say, especially in kids that's developing. Is it the PFC where they're learning through parental example? Like what gets imprinted in the brain when kids are growing up based on what they see, what actually is that what's going on on like a scientific level?
