The elasticity of the brain is incredible! Human children are frighteningly clever at times, and they can actually learn up to 6 or so languages (including ASL).

Kids have a very malleable brain, and the rate they take information in is much higher than an adults; their brain is smaller, but neurons fire much faster and they retain better.

Our brains become more set in their ways and less elastic as we get older, so it’s essential for kids to learn as many exciting things as they can.
