Developing a child’s ‘thinking brain’ in the early years
Webinar

Early Years Alliance
About the CPD course
During this Insight; participants will explore what is meant by the term ‘executive function’ and how this relates to a child’s “thinking brain”. Through discussion learners will realise the importance of developing these skills within the early years as well as sharing some ideas of how to do this in practice. We will also recognise the link between executive function and self-regulation; linking this to statutory and non-statutory guidance.
The Early Years Alliance is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. We support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background, are given the best possible start in life. The Alliance’s vision is a society where every child enjoys the same opportunity to learn through play. We believe families should be at the centre of policy-making and parents empowered to become more involved with their child’s learning and development.
