The video The First
Years Last Forever1 by the producer Dennis Goulden is important because it portrays how
vital the early years are in the development of a child. In addition, the name
of the video is also appropriate because infancy and early childhood is when
young children learn important skills that will be utilized for the rest of
their lives. The name of the video clearly illustrates the impact that what a
child learns during the first years is important for his or her development and
growth.
From the
moment infants arrive to this world they are dependent on others. So if a
caregiver or parent does not form an attachment and show bonding such as the
sense of touch, the child will grow up not being capable of loving others. The first three years of a child’s life
according to the video The First Years
Last Forever is when ninety percent of brain growth happens (Goulden).
Therefore, it’s imperative that caregivers and parents be knowledgeable about
early childhood. One method to creating knowledgeable caregivers is to spend
more money on early childhood developmental programs as noted in the video (Goulden).
This is the time infants and young children want to know everything. In the
video, there is mention of how important the first years are in terms of what
is learned and how learning occurs. If a child does not have a supportive
environment, family or a culture then that child could develop
social-emotional, cognitive or physical developmental problems later on.
