I was super interested in learning all about human development but this docuseries is a waste of time. Despite having snippets from scientists talking about their work, it is very unscientific. Perhaps it is the editing, or the bad scientists involved, but none of the conclusions make any sense. At the end, it stated that children who had more attentive parents who helped their kids more had smaller hippocampi (an area critical to learning), and those children who had less attentive parents had bigger hippocampi. The conclusion drawn was that we should give more attention to children because children are not spending time managing their stress, and this frees up the rest of the brain to explore. ?????
