Abstract
(Producer) "The nation's children are everybody's future, and what happens in those first three years, before school, really, really matters to that future, " says child development expert Penelope Leach. In this program, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer reports on the neurological connections that form in a child's brain during pregnancy and early childhood and the long-term effects of sensory stimulation and deprivation during those formative periods. Commentary by Dr. Leach; UCLA's Dr. Michael Phelps, co-inventor of the PET scan; and others sheds light on topics ranging from the complexities of language acquisition to a possible link between premature birth and ADD
