Overview

What are the most important things we can do to nurture the development of children’s brains and minds and by association enhance learning experiences? Equally important, what might limit or hinder those opportunities? The first question has an extensive body of research to support it and this will be explored by looking at new understandings of how the brain grows and develops and how experiences shape a child’s life and future. The second question has an equally expansive corpus of research, and key elements of this are important considerations when it comes to raising and educating young minds. This presentation will unpack all of the key points noted above in a user-friendly and interactive way. The aim is to provide food for thought and strategies related to fostering environments that positively contribute to the mind of a ‘livewired’ child.
