Research tells us that young brains are shaped by experience, but how can we help parents and carers feel the power of this?
In our latest blog, Hanif Reza Jaberipour shares a powerful activity from the Bringing Up Great Kids program that illustrates how early experiences can create neural connections, both healthy and unhealthy. Using a ball of wool, participants build a web representing a child's brain shaped by trauma. When nurturing relationships are introduced, new, positive connections form.
For children, every act of love matters. Every hug, every kind word, every moment of connection helps foster healthy brain development and healing. https://professionals.childhood.org.au/prosody/2025/02/every-act-of-love-counts-a-crucial-message-for-families-affected-by-trauma/
