The first thing that I found interesting in this chapter was how fast the human develops. I think that it is pretty neat that the brain of a human can develop and mature so fast. A year after a baby is born their cerebral cortex will double in size. The reason I thought that this was neat and intersting was because I thought that the brain took more time to develop. I thought that the brain would be double in size after the second or third year.
The second thing that I found interesting was how deprivation has such an impact on babies. I really didn't know that deprivation from your parents could lead you to be very agressive or very shy and scared. The study that Harlow did with her monkeys was pretty neat I didn't know how much in common humans have with monkeys.
The final thing that I found interesting was basic trust. I thought that this was interesting because kids say things that can be hurtful to parents but in the end they will come back to them because they know that their parents can be trusted. They know that they can go to them and talk to them about anything and they will listen.
