and what happens in those first three years, before school, really, really matters to that
future," says child development expert Penelope Leach. In this program, ABC News

brain during pregnancy and early childhood and the long-term effects of sensory
stimulation and deprivation during those formative periods. Commentary by Dr. Leach;

topics ranging from the complexities of language acquisition to a possible link between
premature birth and ADD. (17 minutes, color)
