Your free course is split into manageable units.
In this unit, learners will understand neuroscience and the early development of the brain. They will understand neurons, synaptogenesis and how the social brain develops.
In this unit, the learner will understand the limbic system and selfregulation. They will understand self-regulation and the factors that can affect its development. They will also learn about the three types of stress and about adverse childhood experiences.
The learner will also learn to distinguish between behaviourist and relational approaches to behaviour management.
This free course is brilliant for career progression and can open doors to many personal opportunities, but we believe it offers even more potential – the skills needed to make a genuine difference in a child’s life…

Saw an Ad on Facebook in which I thought was too good to be true. When I see “Free” I always think there is a catch. There is not.
