“Learning starts in infancy, long before formal education begins, and continues throughout life. Early learning begets later learning and early success breeds later success, just as early failure breeds later failure.” -James J. Heckman

“The early years of human development establish the basic architecture and function of the brain.” - J. Fraser Mustard

"The interplay of the developing brain with the environment is the driving force of development." - Clyde Hertzman

As far as we have come in the early brain development studies I am surprised that the of benefits of early learning and enrichment are not more widely known....sad for our children.

Hey John,
My husband battled the same beast -- esophageal cancer -- he also was a nonsmoker, not much of a drinker and way too young for this type of cancer ---so he was told --- he had nasty acid reflux (heartburn) all his life --- until a couple of years before he was diagnosed -- that was because the damaged cells (cancer/precancer)prevented him from feeling the burn - yes folks heartburn was the primary cause of his cancer -- Have your family members been checked for Barretts esophagus? Barretts is a precancerous condition of the esophagus. If not encourage them to do so -- even if they are young -- my husband was only 43 --- our daughter is only 26 and gets checked every couple of years - no Barretts but nasty acid reflux just like her dad had --
We got a second opinion at Mayo clinic and they advised the same protocol as University Hosptial in Madison --
God bless you on your journey John!
Be Strong and don't let anyone take your hope!
