The Amazing Potential of Infants CPD
Overview
Babies are born with an extraordinary capacity to learn, connect and develop, but their earliest experiences play a vital role in shaping future outcomes. In this webinar, Graham Music explores the remarkable potential of infancy and what can happen when development is affected by stress, trauma, neglect or adversity.
Drawing on developmental research, neuroscience and clinical practice, the session examines the first 1,001 days, the developing brain and nervous system, and the importance of attuned relationships. Participants will also explore ACEs, resilience, mismatch and repair, and the ways sensitive support and early intervention can promote healthy development and recovery. Throughout, the focus remains on possibility, hope and the positive difference that supportive relationships can make.
