September 16, 2022: The Developing Brain
Presenter:
Martha Nesslinger, L.P.C., Counselor, Wyoming Early Childhood Behavior Consultants (WYECBC)
Focus:
In this session, we will explore some of the basics of brain development to notice how the brain works in supporting our development from birth into later childhood. We will talk about the limits in cognitive understanding and the importance of “animal” (flight, fight, freeze) responses in young children. We will be able to understand the “how” and “why” of some of children’s responses that are actually functional responses even as we see them as “difficult behaviors”. In this session, we will address the vital importance of the establishment of a healthy relationship to nurture change in our children and in ourselves.
