El Impacto de la Adversidad Temprana en el Desarrollo de los Niños is the Spanish version of InBrief: The Impact of Early Adversity on Children’s Development. This video from the InBrief series outlines basic concepts from the research on the biology of stress, which show that major adversity can weaken developing brain architecture and permanently set the body’s stress response system on high alert. Science also shows that providing stable, responsive environments for children in the earliest years of life can prevent or reverse these conditions, with lifelong consequences for learning, behavior, and health. The translation of this video was made possible with major support from the World Bank.
