Original recording of a seminar in Zurich, July 2006, and a lecture in Idstein, October 2006. The latest studies show that children's brains are more malleable – and therefore also more deformable – than was believed just a few years ago. No other species is born with a brain as capable of learning and shaping as humans. And in no other species is brain development so dependent on the emotional, social, and intellectual competence of adult caregivers as it is in humans.
