The Alberta Family Wellness Initiative partnered with the Palix Foundation and Harvard University Center of the Developing Child to discuss how the brain is built and structured from a young age. This foundation came to foot because of the growing number of people the Albertans saw in their community who suffered from mental illness and addiction. They partnered with these two organizations to spread information on how the brain work and the importance of giving young minds a healthy and strong foundation to develop over the span of their development.
The site below provides in-depth information about how this foundation formed. This is a great way to inform others on how important and essential it is that we give our young children a strong, nurturing, healthy environment to grow up in and a good start to their academic and social journey in life.
This video shows how having a strong foundation from childbirth can create a good platform and structure to build on the development of the brain.
Kristen thank you for sharing that short video on brain development and how using serve and return strategies, healthy stress, the development of social and emotional skills can build healthy foundations for brain development.
ReplyDeleteKirsten, what a cute video about brain development! I loved how informative it was and how it was presented. It really is designed to inform everyone, whether they know much about early childhood development, or not. Thanks for sharing!
