Words Grow Minds Parent Podcast

From the moment they’re conceived, babies’ brains are building the foundations for lifelong learning. But what exactly do they need to grow strong, healthy brains? In this episode, Kate and Amelia dive into developmental neuroscience with Dr Sally Stanton, breaking down the latest research on how babies learn and what we can do to support them.   
Dr Staton is a Senior Research Fellow in the Science of Learning Research Centre at the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland.
