“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 physical and mental health development and the opportunity to reach their full potential through essential support for their parent(s) and the essential buffering of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Brain Insights can assist you in providing your community with insights, implementation plans and support resources to make  this vision a reality for every baby born into your community! 

 

Communities sharing Neuro-Nurturing benefit 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 inform and 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 all too common myths and replaces them with Neuro-Nurturing knowledge in understandable language and a beautiful, easy to read format.






     





          Neuro-Nurturing ringed books, have been 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.

                   

                  Your community can create the first Neuro-Nurturing generation of children and the first generation of families thriving from the start.
