SUMMARY:The Growing Brain: Factors Affecting Brain Growth and Development

SUMMARY:The Growing Brain: Communication and Language
DESCRIPTION:In this training from The Growing Brain series\, participants will look at how adults play a critical role in early communication through back and forth interactions. We will explore at how communication begins with observation and how children build on language to develop more complex communication\, including dual and multilingual learning. We will finish the training by considering how books and stories are crucial aids in enhancing children’s growing communication skills. \nSTARS Hours: 3 \nThis training is part of a three part series\, facilitated by Julie Wasilewski.  \nPart 1: The Basics of Early Brain Development (10/20/26) \nPart 2: Factors Affecting Brain Growth and Development (11/23/26) \nThis is an interactive\, virtual training\, offered on Zoom.  Some independent work will be required for full STARS credit – details will be provided before your training. \n@public
