>If we had it that bad from ages 2 to 4 there is a chance we may not have any memory of consistent happiness. The age period from 2 to 4 is crucial to our emotional/psychological development. It is very hard to rewire things after the age of 4. There is evidence that early traumas, stresses, neglect, or even lack of proper attachment to the parent have negative effects on brain development.
Yes, absolutely. However, I find the idea that traumas before 5 are almost irreversible a rather pessimistic prognosis given what can happen and what is being discovered about neuroplascity (which largely goes over my head, frankly). Unless I am misinterpreting the phrase 'very hard to rewire'.
