Brain development workshop

Join Drummoyne Community Centre for a series of three workshops that explore how to improve brain development in children aged 0–5 years old.

The course will translate very complex concepts in a way that is digestible, meaningful and relevant. It provides an insight into the link between the brain, body, and behaviour and how a child’s behaviour is one of the best windows into brain functioning. By the end of the three sessions you will:

• Identify factors that affect brain growth and development
• Understand the effects of stress on brain development
• Learn about the five Rs for supporting healthy brain development.

A child’s early experiences and environment shape and influence the construction of the early brain. It’s about pausing, watching and noticing your child’s response to the world. What is too much? What is too little? Where is the sweet spot, that space where the brain thrives?

Facilitated by Dympna Kennedy. Priority is given to local parents in the City of Canada Bay area and surrounding suburbs.
