Infant Brain Development
Babies develop so rapidly in their first year, going from helpless newborns to independently mobile, communicative little persons. One developmental issue that may be unpleasant to think about is the affect of early trauma on an infant’s brain development. What does physical and emotional trauma do to a baby’s developing brain?
Physical Trauma
Perhaps the most well-known form of physical infant brain trauma is “shaken baby syndrome,” which occurs when an infant is shaken and his developing brain rattles back and forth within his skull, causing hemorrhages in the brain. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a common result of shaking is “subdural hemorrhage caused by the disruption of small bridging veins that connect” part of the brain. A child so shaken may have “subdural hemorrhages, subarachnoid hemorrhages, or both.”
The outcome of such hemorrhages is a high rate of morbidity and mortality among infant victims of this injury. The AAP reports that “in one series, of those infants who were comatose when initially examined, 60% died or had profound mental retardation, spastic quadriplegia, or severe motor dysfunction. Other infants initially had seizures, irritability, or lethargy but had no lacerations or infarctions of brain tissue.” Shaken infants who do not receive medical attention may later present with motor, behavior, or learning problems of an unknown cause.
Other Trauma
Infants may experience trauma not necessarily associated with physical trauma. For instance, one-time events like a natural disaster, or ongoing events such as sexual abuse or war, can affect an infant’s developing brain. Because such trauma is an experience, it can affect the victim well into adulthood. Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues posit that such trauma affects the central nervous system in a number of ways. One effect is the “fight or flight” response, in which “everyday stressors which previously may not have elicited any response now elicit an exaggerated reactivity.” Children who suffer trauma may become “hyper-reactive and overly sensitive.”
Infants who suffer from trauma may also exhibit a “freezing” response, in which they become disassociated as a response to a threat or fear. This “freezing” is a way for the child to get away from a situation and retreat to an internal world in order to try to figure out a response to a threat. These children may appear to be numb, robotic, or daydreaming.
Perry, et al, report that the duration of the response to trauma is influenced by a variety of factors, the most important of which appears to “the availability of a healthy and responsive caretaker to provide some support and nurturance for the child following the trauma.” Adult caretakers may be impacted by the same traumas as infants, and therefore need treatment as well in order to care for their children. If the “caretaker” is the source of the trauma, “the child’s emotional survival depends on a zone of safety which includes new, true caretakers.”
Further Resources
Obviously, this is a broad overview of a complex topic, and is not intended to be comprehensive. For further information regarding early trauma and brain development in infants, your pediatrician may be able to offer insights. You may also find the AAP’s site useful.

A Language Of Emotion $13.84 These lively, informative essays, all related to music, are as accessible as a chatty bedside reader. A central theme is listener response, and the techniques and structures that mold it.The story starts with sound waves, the ear, and the brain. Did song come before speech? Was it a factor in evolution? Some think singing helps complete the wiring of that organic work-in-progress, the infant brain.Check out the frequency doubling that built our familiar scale. Learn where the word ‘organizing’ came from. Follow development of the instruments as they achieved volume, accurate intonation, range, and consistent timbre.There is criticism, but little disparagement. Any willing audience deserves respect. Musical examples come from Tin Pan Alley as often as the opera. Whether at a jazz club or the concert hall, the writer cannot hide his impatience with artists seeking to educate or intimidate.Music can be recreation or vocation. Does your instrument match your personality or some physical attribute? We instantly distinguish a bell, a piano, and a guitar; why not a clarinet, flute, or violin? What does the conductor do? A Language of Emotion embraces such matters.The relatively imprecise science of Psychology examines music working its magic. We all have favorites. Is it hype and marketing and peer influence, or do our choices make personal statements? Music, politics, religion, and social forces are twisted threads in the fabric of civilization.Nothing reflects the spirit of an era better than the works of its most creative individuals. In most cases, they blend smoothly in sequence. Monteverdi, Beethoven, and Stravinsky, to name just three, clearly got ahead of the curve and helped define the world around them. |

A Map of the Child: A Pediatrician’s Tour of the Body $17.99 During his residency at the legendary Children’s Hospital in Boston, a young doctor explores the inner workings of a child’s bodyDr. Darshak Sanghavi has learned to read the body-to recognize patterns of sickness, apply modern medical technology when warranted, and to offer comfort through human contact, all vital skills when working with patients who are often too young or too ill to speak. In this compelling book, he shares his experiences by taking the reader on a dramatic tour of a child’s eight vital organs, beginning with the lungs and proceeding through the heart, blood, bones, brain, skin, gonads, and gut.Along the way, we meet children and families in extraordinary circumstances, such as a premature baby named Adam Flax who was born with undeveloped lungs, a Japanese infant with a blockage in his heart, a young girl who sees ghosts and grows too fast, a teenage boy with a positive pregnancy test, and a young girl who keeps losing weight despite her voracious appetite. Using such stories as windows on the wonders and tragedies of human biology, the author examines the development and inner workings of children’s bodies from birth through adolescence.In a deeply personal narrative, Sanghavi comes to terms with the great advances and continued limitations of modern medicine, even as he provides a richly detailed-and humanized-portrait of how the pediatric body functions in sickness and health. |

A Parents’ Guide to The Terrible Twos $4.99 Few aspects of early childhood development are more distressing to parents than the onset of “the terrible twos.” Mothers and fathers who had a wonderful time raising a delightful infant for 24 months or so now find themselves saddled with an annoying, willful, totally unmanageable toddler who is prone to throwing temper tantrums and engaging in a variety of intolerable activities.Contrary to popular beliefs, “the terrible twos” are NOT natural, inevitable or temporary. Such unpleasant personality traits in a two-year-old are largely the result of faulty and preventable childrearing practices; and once these traits are firmly established, they are extremely difficult to eliminate.Therefore, the adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is never truer than when applied to the subject at hand. Civilizing an infant (introducing her to the rules required for living cooperatively and congenially with other people) is among the most important parental tasks, and it is never an especially easy or enjoyable one. However, with adequate awareness of the dynamics involved, and sufficient resolve to follow through on effective strategies right from the start, mothers and father can save themselves a lot of unnecessary grief in the long-run and reap the rewards of a bright, independent, happy and well-behaved child.Of course, the idea of “discipline” is inherently distasteful, and it is even more so when contemplated in connection with infants and toddlers. Therefore, it helps to keep in mind that if pursued properly, what is taking place is not “punishment,” but rather “education.” The child has to learn about life, and her mother and father are the people best qualified to provide essential lessons.The issue is complicated a bit by the notion that two apparently contradictory processes are taking place at the |

A Parents’ Guide to Dealing With a Child’s Anger During Infancy, Toddlerhood and the Preschool Years $4.99 “I hate you!” No other words uttered by a young child can cause as much damage to the morale of her mother and father. After nurturing, worrying and encouraging, parents are prepared for an “I love you!” and a hug, but they rarely are ready for – and thus are extremely vulnerable to – any kind of venomous attack from their infant, toddler or preschooler. Numerous displays of affection can never completely compensate for the terrible pain resulting from a single angry comment.Prior to one year of age, a child will become upset from time to time, and she will express her distress in no uncertain terms, but at this point in development, her feelings are largely reflexive and her reactions are generally unfocused. Therefore, while her behavior may generate concern, it usually will not cause dismay.After the first birthday, however, things change. Gradually, the child starts to formulate genuine discontent, and she begins to direct her displeasure toward particular people. As her physical and mental capacities grow, and her social and emotional experiences become more complex, her expressions of anger steadily increase in variety and sophistication.
