What Babies Need Right from the Start (Birth-24 months) "Delusional Optimism" Podcast with Dr. B

Raising an infant can be very consuming and upending, especially for new parents.

Listen to some common parenting myths that are harmful and misleading.

Amid pandemic, infants especially need quality child care, reformers say [edsource.org]

By Karen D'Souza, EdSource, April 6, 2021 Children are born ready to learn. In the first year of life, the brain doubles, with about 90% of brain growth happening before kindergarten. However, only 1 in 3 eligible children under 5 years old take part in California’s publicly funded early learning and care programs.

Unlearning the Triune (3-part) Model of the Brain - It's a Myth?!

Originally posted on Rise to Resilience. "Change is the end result of all true learning." - Leo Buscaglia I first learned of the triune, or three-part, model of the brain when researching Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resilience which became the original Rise to Resilience presentation. Since then, I encountered the triune brain model regularly: Conscious Discipline uses it as a foundational concept. Dr. Dan Siegel's Hand Model of the Brain and the "flipping your lid" analogy. And in...

"I'll be here again next week." - Because if one person stays, that will be enough.

When a child welcomes you into their life, honor that. Hold that in the highest regard because on that day you have not only become a friend, but a glimmer of hope. You represent a world where people don’t make empty promises, tell lies, or disappear without a warning. In the eyes of a child who is more familiar with grief than joy, you very well could be the key to the elusive stability they have always heard about, but never known.
