Brain Development and Attachment in The Early Years
Healthy Child Development
Details
Training Overview:
Research indicates that the first three years of life are a period of exponential brain development that is dependent on relationships and the environment in which the child is growing. This training will provide general information on brain development in the first 5 years of life, including the neuroscience of how the brain develops and its various functions, as well as the influence of brain growth on all other aspects of a child's development. The importance of a child's environment and caregiving relationship as shapers of the brain will be discussed in the context of trauma and its impact on the attachment relationship with caregiving adults.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Name three structures of the brain, and explain the role neurotransmitters play on areas of developing brain.
- Identify two ways in which a child’s environment and relationship with their caregiver effects the development of their brain.
- List two ways in which trauma influences the developing brain and describe its impact on the young child’s attachment relationship with caregiver (s).
