The Growing Brain has the most up-to-date current information on brain development and how we can help grow healthy brains. If you work with families or just want to know more for your family, this is the course for you and help you answer those questions on brains. For example, what part of the brain does temperament originate? Why do some kids have more self-control than others? At what age should kids "know better"? What is the HPA Axis and how does it affect the developing brain? Where is Cortisol produced? When we say "the brain doesn't finish developing until age 25, what exactly still needs to develop? Can children learn 5 languages at once and how does the brain process them? These and all questions are rooted in the biology of the brain which we will answer in this course. If you work with parents or are a parent, this is the most amazing course to help you talk "science" with your partner, in-laws and families you work with.

This course builds on and delves much more in depth into children's brain development from the Brain Story Course, by the Palix Foundation.

This full course is designed for 21 hours-7 sessions for a class of 30 participants. Because our class is deliberately kept smaller, the time required is closer to 2 live hours per session and 1 hour homework.

Only $375.00 investment per person includes all materials and registration fees for the entire session.

Class is limited to 10 participants so please register early.

Every participant receives a full digital licensed Participant Manual included in the total cost. You may take this file and get it printed if you would like, or follow along digitally by filling out the worksheets on blank paper.

Completion certificates will be available for the number of sessions attended.

This is an interactive class delivered much the same as in a classroom but over a computer. You will be expected to participate fully in the break-out and whole group sessions and use a working microphone and video camera. The course will be delivered through group creative activities, powerpoints, videos, discussion questions and instructor lecturettes, as well as reflection work in the Participant Manual

If you can't attend some of the live sessions, you will still have time to review the recordings prior to the next class and schedule some Q and A time with the instructor if you would like.

Instructor is Judy Arnall, BA, CCFE (Canadian Certified Family Life Educator). Judy has been teaching parent education for 25 years and is a certified Growing Brain instructor.
