The overproduction of synapses and synaptic pruning support infants’ and children’s ability to learn because has it states in the book,“about 40 percent of synapses are pruned during childhood and adolescence (Webb, Monk, & Nelson, 2001). For this process to advance, appropriate stimulation of the child’s brain is vital during periods in which the formation of synapses is at its peak” (Berk & Meyers, 2016, pg. 162). They also explain how stimulation has a part of this, “At first, stimulation results in massive overabundance of synapses, many of which serve identical functions, thereby ensuring that the child will acquire the motor, cognitive, and social skills that our species needs to survive” (Berk & Meyers, 2016, pg. 162). So, while their synapses is at peak during this age, it gives their brain a chance to expand and learn to things because it’s still developing.

I think co-sleeping can be an exception to an extent, for example, if my child is sick or is not feeling feel. I wouldn't mind having them sleep in bed with me but once they fall asleep, I would transfer them into their own bed/ own room. Co-sleeping is not influenced by my cultural background but since we used to live in a two bedroom apartment; when my little brother was born, he would share a room with my parents. He had his own crib and has he got older they got him a normal bed. Now, here’s the reason why I believe co-sleeping can be accepted up to a certain extent because now my little brother is 13 years old and doesn’t want to sleep in his own room. Even though he has one, he still sleeps with my
