Quote
Young brains are particularly sensitive because they haven’t yet developed automatic screening devices. The normal human brain has built-in mechanisms for moderating incoming sensory stimulation to levels that keep it sufficiently “aroused” without becoming overwhelmed. Children’s brains, however, have not had time to refine these filtering systems; when overwhelmed, they either “tune out” or their behavior becomes unmanageable.
