How Brains Are Built by Alberta Family Wellness

Christine Cissy White 6/14/162:35 PM

This video is educational, engaging and short.

It doesn't talk specifically about ACEs, attachment or the neuro-plasticity of the brain - but it does - it just uses different language.

It shows how brains are built. It describes how "serve and return" interactions between children and caregivers support strong brain development.

And then why and how toxic stress harms the same brain architecture.

It's a few years old but it's a super engaging resource I had missed out on.

"This means that brains aren't just born - they are also built, over time, based on our experiences."

If you are in need of a tool to motivate parents (you or people you work with) or want a reminder of why self-regulation can be so challenging for some, this is great.
