Learn How to Create Optimal Stimulation for Infants and Toddlers
This e-Learning experience addresses the needs of the adult first, and then addresses the needs of the child during the critical early years of development. The ability to recognize and manage both mild and toxic stress is an adult prerequisite for equipping the next generation to do the same. Using neuroscience, child development, evidence-based strategies and a trauma-informed approach, this essential content will equip you with best practices and transform how we see ourselves, our relationships and our children. The first three years of life are a period of incredible brain growth. The way we respond to the needs of infants and toddlers will help or inhibit them from forming healthy life patterns.
