This presentation will explore brain development during the first year of life and how it relates to the newborn caregiver. Connecting and developing a bond from birth, creating interbrain connection leads to co-regulating in the early years and it is that love that we give over time that builds brains. 

Join Dr. Jean Clinton for a talk on this and some practical strategies on how to help support parents make these connection with their newborns from the start.
