During this critical period, toddlers' brains are more plastic. Brain plasticity in toddlers has positive and negative sides. On the positive side, toddlers' brains are more open to the learning and enrichment process. On the negative side, toddlers' brains are more sensitive to unsupportive environments such as inadequate nutritional intake.
