Currently the web site features “Welcome to
the Baby Brain Map, a ZERO TO THREE Web exclusive” with its focus on brain
development from prenatal through age three.
More research has been done and more information is available for
specific ages and stages of brain development.
This web site also provides specific ways we as caregivers can respond
to aid in that development. For example,
responding to the cries of a 0-2 month old and playing tracking games with
them.
This specific issue highlights the importance of how crucial
relationships are to brain development.
Because such a large part of brain growth is happening at this age it is
crucial for educators to be aware of how children learn at each stage and what
steps they can take to aid in brain development. This will be an excellent resource for me to
pass along to teachers in the field. I
am even thinking of printing these resources and putting them in a chart form
for the teachers that I work with.
Lori,
ReplyDeleteI agree that understanding the vital role relationships play in brain development is extremely important to educators. Zero to Three seems to be an excellent resource for educators, and it appears the organization offers information that would benefit parents as well.
Thanks for sharing!

I always get excited about the topic of the brain and how it works through out child development. There is nothing more important than understanding how a child learns and thinks, especially if you are a teacher. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Lori! I absolutely love infants! I worked as an infant teacher for 6 years before being transferred to a preschool program. Many of my relationships with my preschool are built off of the bonds and relationships that I had with the infants, What an awesome website that shares how babies think and develop. I believe that learning how the brain develops and how babies think is the foundations of how preschoolers will think and respond to situations in their leaning environments. Thanks for sharing Lori!
