There is a general pattern of growth and development in children, of which the first 1,000 days of life are extremely important, as it is the period of the fastest growth of the brain and body in a person’s lifetime. During this time, the brain grows most of its capacity and experiences extremely rapid and critical language development. Early nutrition, living environment and pregnant condition influence children’s growth and development.
