Free Building Babies Brain course – North Devon
Action for Children’s Building Babies Brain course aims to support people who come in to contact with 0-2 year olds to increase their knowledge of baby brain development, bonding and resilience and to be confident and purposeful in ‘passing’ this information on to parents/ carers and communities.
The training covers:
- Understanding the importance of baby brain development, especially during the vital 0-2 years
- Tools for being in relationships with others, including Dan Hughes PACE
- What babies need to build strong, healthy and resilient stress regulation systems
- The importance of self-care for wellbeing
- How this supports communication / speech and language development
- Building confidence in passing this information on widely. Did you know that only a third of parents know this information? We want it to be ‘all our business’
- Signposting you to evidence-based resources that you can easily pass onto parents
- Risk and trauma in the early years, and how to build resilience for lifelong skills
Who is the training for?
The training is for volunteers, peer supporters, toddler group volunteers, early years practitioners (pre-schools, nurseries, childminders), foster carers or anyone whose role brings them into contact with children aged 0-2 years and their carers and community members/ volunteers who link in with families with children aged 0-2.
