The early years are a sensitive period for development, and the last several decades have started to give us insights into this sensitive period through the lens of neuroscience. . In this episode, I’m joined by Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD, a Neuroscientist, Doula, and Infant and Family Sleep Specialist.
Our conversation focuses on the importance of nurture in the early years and how this time is really the infancy for the brain. We dive into our low nurture culture and the importance of working towards a high nurture culture. We talk about some of the pressures and cultural narratives that create barriers to nurture for parents and babies. Increasing nurture has a powerful affect on so many aspects of long-term wellness – let’s be a part of the nurture revolution!
