27 March 2023 Talking to Parents at St Peter's Loudwater

Louise and Elizabeth are passionate about sharing the science around how our brains are built and the role we all have in helping babies, children and teenagers build the best possible brains!   In the same way that we all understand a little about how diet and smoking may affect our physical health, the Brain Story team would like everyone in our community to understand more about brain development and how we can use our scientific understanding to improve outcomes for both children and adults in the future. The session will include information about different skills babies and children acquire as they grow, and the vital role of caregivers in supporting young people reach their potential. We will also watch short animations with metaphors to understand the key scientific concepts and have plenty of time to discuss practical ways to apply these ideas in everyday family life.
