Advances in neuroscience give Drs a unique perspective on what’s going on inside there. There have always been lots of theories about how children learn and the best way to nurture and raise theme especially during the early years. Science is showing us the answers.

However there is the constant problem of what is good brain nurturing fun and what’s just hype? Where do you get advice that is scientifically based and not mere marketing hype.

Dr Jane Healy’s recent presentation, “Your Child’s Growing Mind: How Families that Play Together, Build Brains Together” at the DuPageChildren’s museum provides a practical resource for parents and educators.

Grab your favourite drink and a Christmas cookie. Dive into this most fascinating lecture.

Don’t forget to let us know what you think and how it’s changing your thinking?

Well done DuPage Children’s museum for providing such lectures so parents AND educators can discuss and implement ideas. Thanks.
