Neuro Nurtured: The Developing Brain During Early Childhood
About
City of Kalamunda Early Childhood Workshops presented by Karen YoungEarly childhood is a particularly critical time for the developing brain, and the early childhood environment is rich with the necessary experiences and relationships to support children in their development, behaviour, learning, and social and emotional well-being.
As some of the most important adults in the day to day lives of young children, early childhood professionals have a profound capacity to provide the experiences and relational conditions that will nurture the holistic development of all children.
This workshop will explore the powerful role the early learning environment can play in nurturing the strong neural foundations for long-term development in all children.
Participants will learn:
•How relationships and experiences can optimise learning and behavioural, social and emotional development
•Using neuroscience to respond effectively to big behaviour and feelings
•How to nurture emotional self-regulation in children
•Strengthening children against anxiety
•The role of attachment systems in developing independence and resilience
• Protecting and strengthening children who have experienced trauma.
