Nurturing the Developing Brain: A Pathway Toward Health, Learning, and Resilience

A child’s behavior reflects the state of their nervous system. What looks like resistance or worry is often the brain working to protect itself. When we understand this, our focus shifts from correcting behavior to supporting regulation and safety.

In this webinar replay, developmental pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Valerie Nowinski joins Alex Doman to explain how early sensory and brain development shape attention, memory, mood, and learning. She offers a clear and reassuring look at what children need in order to thrive.

You will discover
🔹 Why many challenging behaviors are protective
🔹 The role of rhythm, timing, and motion
🔹 How stress and early experiences influence regulation

Understanding how the brain develops and seeks safety helps us support children in ways that truly matter.
