      Great question, Sophie. When I was a primary school teacher, I was fascinated by skills the children were developing such as memory, attention and control. I was surprised by how some children in my class were great at these skills, and others were still working on these skills. I wanted to find out how these skills develop and what happens in the brain whilst these skills are developing. By learning about these skills in babies, and how babies brains develop, I hope to be able to help young children get the best start in life.
