Brain Development-

The way children’s brains develop depends

on how the genes they’re born with interact with the experiences they have. The brain

of the baby is still forming connections responsible for feeling, learning, and

remembering. In this lesson, we will explore how brain development impacts the

whole child.

Ages & Stages-

stages of infants and toddlers. In this lesson, we will explore how infants and

toddlers grow into healthy children based on age appropriate cues.

types of feelings:  Good and Bad.  Understanding Feelings focuses on

categorizing and understanding why feelings are important and how they affect our

children.

Praising Children and Their Behavior -

are pleasing to parents. Children who are praised for their behavior develop a
