During the earliest months and years of life, a child’s brain is developing at an unparalleled rate, shaped by nurturing early experiences. Caring adults play a crucial role in fostering trust and safety, helping toddlers develop a sense of self and become confident explorers.

Research shows that all infants and toddlers need good health, strong families, and positive early learning experiences to ensure a strong start in life. Learn more: https://bit.ly/48NTLHw

A fascinating article from nytimes about how laughter (and humor) at its core, is a representation of cognitive comprehension and understanding in babies.

“…laughter and humor are fundamental to how babies learn about and participate in the world.”

A kid’s first joke reveals a complex mind.

Have you heard of countthekicksus?

They’re a Norway-based public health research company advocating the importance of monitoring fetal movement during the third trimester of pregnancy by counting kicking on a daily basis. They discovered that doing so demonstrated a 30% reduction in stillbirth.

Check out their website (and handy app), for more information.

From time to time I’m introduced to another brand that’s too excellent not to share! dogmeets_baby is one of those. Most of my families that I have the pleasure of working with also have fur babies, which is why I find what the folks over at Dog Meets Baby do, so vitally important!

They recently sent me their ‘Dog Meets Family Prep List’ which is great for any family that’s ready to welcome a new dog to their home.

You can download a copy of it here: https://d6ozzw.fh63.fdske.com/e/c/01kf434axq7gx3s209bb62da1z/01kf434axq7gx3s209bge6fh94

Enjoy!

circleofsecurity is a wonderful parenting/caregiving website to subscribe to that I fully embrace.

Their content is approachable, positive, and deeply-rooted in medial science.

This particular blog highlights the innate need of children to be seen- and not just looked at while showing you something… but really witnessed.

Hope you enjoy!

Delighting in who your child is, not what they do, builds lasting self-worth.
