Using a Neuroscience Lens to Understand Behaviour - Online Workshop

Facilitated by Emily McKenna

Having an understanding of how children’s brains develop and respond to stress can equip us with the knowledge required to realistically and confidently support children to navigate challenging moments. When we consider children’s behaviours through the lens of neuroscience, we move away from viewing behaviour as a 'choice' and instead understand behaviour in the context of the various structures and functions within the brain.

This session will cover:

• Brain development in early childhood

• Trauma, toxic stress and brain development
