Recent findings from neuroscience on how young children experience the world differently from adults - and what this means for your practice

In this talk Professor Sam Wass describes recent findings from neuroscience that have revealed how young children experience sights and sounds differently to adults. Young brains are at their most powerful, in terms of their sheer raw learning capacity – but the same features of brains that make them powerful learners also make them unstable. These findings have profound implications for how we should structure our practice with young children. In the morning, we discuss concentration and language. In the afternoon, we discuss emotion regulation and attachment.
