She is also a rector of Colombia&#8217;s University of the Andes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bernal participated in the First International Early Childhood Forum, which was held at Tec de Monterrey, during the <a href=\"\/en\/human-social\/center-for-early-childhood-in-latin-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Early Childhood Center<\/a> inauguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Everything that happens during this period, including stimulation and experiences, shapes the child&#8217;s brain architecture. It is critical to capitalize on this and invest as much as possible to ensure the consolidation of their learning ability&#8221;, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-brain-s-development-during-childhood\">The brain&#8217;s development during childhood.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.iadb.org\/desarrollo-infantil\/es\/neurociencia-e-innovacion-una-alianza-clave-para-los-primeros-1000-dias-de-vida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inter-American Development Bank<\/a>, the first 1000 days of life are symbolized by a &#8220;Neuronal Big Bang,&#8221; with around 1000 brain connections being formed each second.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bernal highlighted that investing in <a href=\"\/en\/human-social\/tec-de-monterrey-announces-the-center-for-early-childhood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Early Childhood <\/a>is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enhance social development in areas such as <strong>education, language, and nutrition.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She emphasized the significance of closing the gaps within these areas, particularly between socioeconomically vulnerable and more privileged households.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These gaps in Early Childhood are of great concern because they are the origin of the inequality in Latin America,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added that family efforts become insufficient due to a lack of economic means, education, and even essential time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, there has been a drop in <a href=\"\/en\/biotechnology\/benefits-of-breast-milk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">breastfeeding<\/a>, primarily due to a lack of time, as well as a decrease in <a href=\"\/en\/health\/mexican-children-dont-eat-fruit-and-vegetables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">balanced nutrition for children <\/a>throughout the day. Bernal said that just <strong>40% of children enjoy a healthy diet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bernal added that a newborn with a higher education mother has a 90% chance of getting involved with at least four recreational and learning activities, but this probability ranges only between 10% and 20% in disadvantaged homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For example, a five-year-old in a privileged home speaks like a five-year-old, but in a resource-scarce home, they speak as if they were three, indicating a lag of one to two years,&#8221; said the rector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-unique-opportunity-to-invest-in-early-childhood\">A Unique Opportunity to Invest in Early Childhood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This disparity exacerbates inequality, causing further difficulties in the Latin American area; therefore, investing in <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/early-childhood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">early childhood <\/a>is critical in addressing these difficulties.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rector emphasized the government&#8217;s responsibility in assisting families that face financial, time, and knowledge limitations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actions that the government could regulate include programs to enhance family nutrition, early childhood education, and child health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important factor in improving Latin American children&#8217;s quality of life indicators is early childhood learning and the relevance of having experts in the sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specialized teacher training and educational programs with a defined curriculum designed for Early Childhood development become essential in this aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bernal claims that curricular flexibility appears to be adverse in early childhood because clear learning objectives and particular pedagogical approaches, instead of improvisation, are essential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infrastructure is also critical, with more learning and entertainment areas for children to supplement these specialized activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I believe that to progress, political will is crucial, and initiatives like the Early Childhood Center and Tec are changing the compass to make governments understand that it is a fair, efficient, and important investment for our countries,&#8221;
