Overview

The crucial development of the growing brain is one of the most important topics in early childhood development. Research on the topic is exploding, underscoring the need for early childhood professionals to stay up-to-date on brain development and strategies to best support the growing brains of children, birth to 5 years old, in their care. This is a face-to-face training.

Objective

h. Understands the impact of stress and trauma on a child’s development and supports families in reducing children's exposure to stress
k. Utilizes knowledge of child development and multiple factors influencing development while observing expectant parents, infants/toddlers, young children, and/or families
1.2.a. Understands developmental sequences and milestones
1.3.a. Understands and accepts children's age-appropriate emotional responses (i.e., crying, tantrums)
e. Helps children cope with separation and transition
k. Uses empathy to help children recognize and understand their emotions
1.7.b. Understands the foundations of cognitive development including the importance of joint attention, imitation, and cause and effect
c. Creates environments that encourage developmentally appropriate exploration of toys, objects, and materials
1.8.a. Understands that early literacy skills begin in infancy.
b. Creates an environment where children have access to a variety of developmentally appropriate objects and materials to support early and emergent literacy
1.9.b. Uses knowledge of the cultural characteristics of the Dual Language Learning population to enhance learning
1.10 Facilitates children's play to encourage development across domains
2.1.m. Recognizes the impact of family stress on child development and family function and works closely with the family to link them to appropriate community resources
4.3.f. Models positive social interactions, such as friendship skills, empathy, and respect

The Growing Brain: From Birth to 5 Years Old

يتطلب التسجيل نظرة عامة

Unit 1 focuses on how the brain grows and develops from conception through 5 years old. In this training, you will learn the names of different parts or regions of the brain and their functions; gain an understanding of how nerve cells communicate and connect; learn about neuroplasticity; and examine the role of early experiences in making connections between areas of the brain.

Unit 2 focuses on the key factors that affect brain development and how to support healthy brain development overall. In this training, you will identify factors that affect brain growth and development; understand how stress can affect brain development; and learn strategies (the 5 R’s) for supporting healthy brain development.

Unit 3 focuses on communication and language skills that develop in the first 5 years, the brain’s role in the development of these skills, and how to support them. In this training, you will learn about specific communication milestones and when they typically emerge and how this relates to brain development; learn strategies for supporting early communication skills; and gain an understanding of how multilanguage learning occurs.

Unit 4 focuses on how young children develop cognitive and executive functions in relation to the developing brain. In this training, you will learn how cognitive development unfolds in young children and how to support its development in young children; learn about executive functioning and its critical role in cognitive and overall development; and how to support the development of executive functions.

Unit 5 focuses on how social-emotional development unfolds in the first 5 years and the brain’s role in this process. In this training, you will learn about the areas of the brain involved in social interactions and emotional reactions; explore the role of relationships and attachment in social-emotional development; the effect of stress on social-emotional development; the development of empathy in very young children and how to support social-emotional development in young children.

Unit 6 focuses on how children’s behavior is influenced by the brain. In this training, you will learn about basic brain anatomy; connections between areas of the brain and how these connections are expressed through behavior; key factors that influence behavior; the root causes of challenging behavior and effective strategies for helping children with these difficulties.

Unit 7 focuses on the stages and types of play that unfold in early childhood, the role of the brain in this process, and how to maximize children’s learning through play. In this training, you will learn about the development of play; the differences between free and guided play; and core skills children develop through play and how to promote these skills.
