The role of Epigenetics in children's development
|
|
|
|
The eternal nature versus nurture debate – is a person's behaviour a result of their genes or is it because of their environment? It's an argument that's been going on for centuries, and now a relatively new area of scientific research offers up some fascinating insights which indicate once and for all that it's both.
Epigenetics is an emerging science which shows how environmental influences affect the expression of genes, in other words, how a child's experiences modify their inherited genetic DNA makeup. This therefore proves that what kids are exposed to in their early years, including before birth, has a direct impact on their development.
