Can a 10-minute-old-baby actually learn something?
Can such a new and tiny being figure out “I’m like you and you’re like me?”
Beatrice Beebe, PhD, Columbia University and New York State Psychological Institute psychologist, shares research showing that babies can imitate expressions at 10-minutes-old!
“Early infancy is a critical developmental period,” says Dr. Beebe.
We’ll be sharing more of her video and wisdom in our Neuro-Nuturing: Advancing Powerful Strategies for Lifelong Health and Black Birthing and Decade of the Child Initiatives webinar this Thursday!
Join us May 22 from Noon – 12:30 p.m. ET for this free CHC: Creating Healthier Communities CHC University webinar featuring internationally-recognized subject-matter experts in early relational health.

🌎 How important is this information to the health of your organization? Your community? Our nation? The world?
🧠 How can learning more about how a baby’s brain develops help you and your team create healthier communities?
💕 Join us and learn how and why early relational health is the foundation of emotional, mental, and physical health and wellbeing — for improved lifelong health and wellbeing — and how an infant’s experiences literally shape the architecture of his or her brain for future trust, curiosity, ability to connect and relate, or, conversely, be more likely to experience fear, mistrust, and isolation.
We’ll also explore strategies for your organization, faith community, health care system, child- and family-serving organization to create and leverage “Neuro-Nurturing Ecosystems”, and engage more fathers in the birthing journey and early relational health.
Register now for this free webinar brought to you by CHC: Creating Healthier Communities in cooperation with Population Health Learning Collaborative and PACEs Connection.
