Brain building is a construction project that starts when we are #babies and continues into adulthood: https://t.co/rwb8m8nSvM Early experiences affect whether our brain architecture has a sturdy or weak foundation. #BSBTN

Brain architecture is "built over time and shaped by experiences." This video explains how everyone in #TN can be a #BrainBuilder: https://t.co/OHo4WDQf7Q #BSBTN

#DYK that brains are built, starting even before #babies are born? Experiences and environments shape the architecture of this important construction project. #BSBTN https://t.co/oKCpTfq0X0

#DYK that brain architecture is comprised of BILLIONS of connections between individual neurons across the brain? https://t.co/eGizBKN8L4 That's a huge building project! #BSBTN

Children’s mental health is like the levelness of a table – it can't level itself.  How does a System of Care support?  https://t.co/OPv3ms0CGA #BSBTN

The levelness of a table allows it to function, just like the mental health of a child is what enables them to function. Some children’s brains develop on level floors & others on slanted floors. Children need supp. relationships 2 build level MH. https://t.co/UJL8uUZBSZ #BSBTN
