Young minds are literally rewiring their physical structures in response to the environments they encounter. Babies are born with many more possible "brain connections" than necessary -- some get strengthened, others are trimmed away as the child encounters the world.
That's why our childhood experiences and traumas are so powerful and lasting. It is also why we need to be so mindful of how our children are raised. Every society places great value on the education (or indoctrination) of the young.
It's very serious business.
The fact is that the Mormon church is literally molding young minds to fit its needs.
