Know Your Baby’s Brain: Nurturing Infant Stress
Building Connection and Managing Stress for Optimal Brain Development.
Parenting a new baby or toddler can be stressful, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed or disconnected at times. This interactive workshop will provide guidance on managing these moments of stress while also promoting the healthy development of your infant/child.
During this workshop, we will dive into the science behind the development of an infant's brain and the crucial role that connection plays in this process. These connections have a significant impact on both the structural development of the brain and its underlying genetics. Throughout the workshop, we will provide you with the knowledge and strategies to promote optimal growth and emotional regulation in your baby, even in times of stress and overwhelm!
Our primary focus will be on nurturing these connections and discovering practical tools to foster a strong sense of nurtured presence and empathy. You will gain a deeper understanding of your role in your baby's stress response, learn effective methods for soothing your baby, and recognize those moments where co-regulation can be fostered or repaired.
You will learn:
> How connection aids in brain development.
> How nurture acts on genetics and intergenerational trauma.
> How to nurture connection when your baby is calm and alert.
> How to manage stress when your baby is crying, clinging, withdrawn, or melting down.
> How to repair connection when you are reactive.
Parenting is challenging, especially with all the conflicting advice and information that makes us question our own parenting instincts. This workshop is the latest, most up-to-date evidence-based information that will give you the knowledge needed to parent with confidence and prioritize what matters the most for your baby and YOU!
