Welcome to Babiesknow! Babiesknow reveals what babies really know and feel, and how your baby's early experiences affect the development of her brain, her general health and her emerging sense of self. You, as a parent, influence your baby. Your baby's experiences in her family are more important than her genes in determining development, growth, happiness and self-esteem: you can make your influence a positive one. Our courses show you what your baby knows and what she needs from you. We offer a unique combination of scientific insights, practical guidance and exercises. We explore the science of love and the art of relationship, and we look at central issues of family life including sleep, food, play and the relationship between parents Our programme of courses covers pregnancy, newborns and toddlers. Our team brings expertise from medical science, obstetrics, psychotherapy, birth support, childcare and baby massage. And we are all parents. How do we know that babies know? Today, with sophisticated tools and skills, neuroscientists have allowed unprecendented revelation of babies' brains and much has been revealed about babies' powerful drives to ask for what they need. We know that all humans, as part of the expression of their genetic code, have a set of emotional and biological drives, and as individual organisms know what's going on in their environment, and know what they need. Though babies cannot verbalise their feelings, their brains are adequately mature, even before birth, for them to know and respond to how they feel. Babies ask for what they want: including food, contact, love, acceptance, nurturing, reasurrance, play, safety, soothing. And brain scientists have shown that having these needs met is key to a person's development. Babies know when their needs are met. When their needs are not met, babies inevitably become upset, anxious or angry; and brain development suffers. "Love, and the lack of it, change the young brain forever. The nervous system was once thought to unfold into maturity in accordance with the instructions in its DNA, much as a person alone in a room might, with a set of directions and a flurry of creases, produce an origami swan. But as we know now, most of the nervous system (including the limbic brain) needs exposure to crucial experiences to drive its healthy growth... From: Knowing that your baby knows is a great place to start. All contents copyright © Babiesknow, 2008. All rights reserved. |
