Supporting You

“The basic finding is that the experiences of the first two months of life have a disproportionately important impact on your long-term health and development. This has to do with the remarkably rapid growth of the brain early in life, and the organization of those all-important core regulatory networks."   -Bruce D. Perry, M.D, Ph.D.

Imagine helping every baby in your community begin life with optimal brain development, the opportunity to reach their full potential, and buffering of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Brain Insights is dedicated to helping you move your community closer to making this vision a reality one precious baby at a time! 

 

Communities sharing Neuro-Nurturing® benefiting from inspiring (virtual or live) presentations and resources for adults to use at home and in educational settings, significantly help create essential positive childhood experiences.

A trusted nurturing relationship for newborns builds an essential foundation for physical and mental health, learning, positive self-perception and overall well-being. 

    These exciting materials provide you with the opportunity to inspire new mothers, fathers, and caregivers to create safe, stable, nurturing environments and interactions that support optimal brain development and promote physical health from the start. The resources include:

     
    “The First 60 Days” booklet, created in response to 2018 research conducted by Bruce Perry, MD, MPH, and associates showing the incredible importance of the first two months for physical and mental health development. This booklet dispels 22 potentially detrimental and common myths and replaces them with Neuro-Nurturing knowledge in understandable language and a beautiful, easy to read format.
     
                                                      Neuro-Nurturing ringed books, were created to give caregivers developmentally appropriate, easy, and fun activities to enjoy with newborns, babies, toddlers, and children through age five in everyday life. From the voice of the child, adults also gain science-backed insights ensuring the confidence to create hands-on learning experiences and healthy caregiver-child relationships.
