The new documentary “No Small Matter” shares stories about and researches the human capacity for early intelligence.
The film calls early-childhood "a grown-up issue," relaying what researchers have learned about early brain development.
But the documentary also focuses on the value of parent-child relationships, something many parents continue to struggle with, which can lead to adverse consequences down the road.
Today on All Sides, early childhood learning and how it translates into the classroom, and our homes.
