Level 2 An Introduction to Neuroscience in early Years (birth to 7 years old) Distance Learning

This course provides information on the early development on the brain of children from birth to age 7. The course covers social brain development, the limbic system and self regulation. This is aimed at anyone who wants to or currently works in an early years setting or has an interest in how with brain develops and how outside influences can affect it.

Not only will you learn the theory, you will also be given practical advice in how to promote healthy brain development and how to support the development of self regulation skills to help with emotions such as anger, fear and sadness in a child up to the age of 7 years. The new early years foundation stage (EYFS) statutory framework includes self regulations as a learning goal.

The following units are covered in the free distance learning Level 2 Award in an Introduction to Neuroscience in Early Years course:

Unit 1: Understanding neuroscience in early years.

Unit 2: Understanding self-regulation and how to nurture this in children from birth to seven years
