They provide the foundations for how we respond to our biggest challenges in later life, our long-term health, wellbeing and resilience.

"Everyone involved in a child’s early life has a pivotal role to play and @OxChildPsych’s research educating teenagers in science lessons about how early experiences shape brain development is just one example of how we can be better informed about this.

"Huge thanks to the pupils of Nower Hill HS for sharing your experiences!"
