Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 One thing I heard about the head after age 2 is that a big contributor to the head growth is the skull thickening. That is why you would want to correct the shape by age 2. Before age 2 the brain is growing more and growth can be redirected to fill in flat areas (just as it was redirected away from those areas to make them flat). -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > > > > > > > Hi everyone, I didn't post here often but lurked alot and I > have > > > learned so much here.
