Something VERY EXCITING beyond hope!

… Positive Experiences & Supporting Healthy Brains for Everyone!
![Page 10: It Takes Attention: The Brain, Behavior and Self Perception](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681643c550346895dd607ec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is she going to present?
I am wondering…..
![Page 11: It Takes Attention: The Brain, Behavior and Self Perception](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681643c550346895dd607ec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WHY?
We know more about how to support and develop healthy brains better than ever before.
A sense of belonging and a feeling of community is a basic need.
People are asking, “What can we do?”
Making a difference for others is natural and beneficial for everyone.
Prevention is best and is also extremely cost beneficial.
Because EVERY child deserves all of us caring about what they need most!

It isn’t as Complicated as it may seem!
So, how does a brain
develop?

90% of the brain develops in the pre-school years
100 billion brain cells at birth
“Oh really…? Most of my brain development happens
after birth?”

Undeveloped Brains
Children are sometimes criticized for bad behavior that they simply can't help
Sometimes their emotional brainsare too immature for them tobehave better
Noncompliance?Skill deficit?Hijacked PFC?

“Wow repeating experiences really makes a difference to my brain!”
Repetition creates strong pathways
![Page 27: It Takes Attention: The Brain, Behavior and Self Perception](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681643c550346895dd607ec/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
nurturing environment encourages emotional stability impacts cognitive development respond quickly & warmly; maintain consistent

Critical Window of Opportunity
EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Birth to 18 months

Secure Attachment
Research demonstrates that secure attachment can have an impact on the ability:
to form healthy relationships with othersto delay gratificationto problem solveto have empathy for othersto put up with the frustration of failure and
have more patience to calm down from excitement
![Page 29: It Takes Attention: The Brain, Behavior and Self Perception](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681643c550346895dd607ec/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
It may also lead to:
having a longer attention spanbeing able to better manage physical reactions to
emotions having an increased capacity for empathyfeeling less anxietyhaving greater skills in communicating emotions in
healthy ways exhibiting fewer behavioral problemshaving more confidence and a positive self-perceptionbeing less fearfulhaving more willingness to explore and learn through
challenges

Repeated experiences create expectations &
mental models that are used throughout life.
