Baby brains: Why being plastic is a good thing


Listen Later

WHY to think about the brains of your youngest congregation members as you plan worship.

 

Neuroscientists have made dramatic breakthroughs in mapping babies’ brains and are learning how the brain’s plasticity in the first few years of life shapes lifelong development. Worship Whys host Dawn Rundman’s fascination with early brain formation led her to take a deep dive into the subject in her doctoral studies and

influenced her to write her acclaimed book, Little Steps, Big Faith: How the Science of Early Childhood Development Can Help You Grow Your Child's Faith.

Dawn shares innovative information about babies’ brains and offers strategies to inspire worship leaders to take simple steps to engage the youngest children (and their families) as they begin faithful lives.

What successful ways have you connected with babies in your church? Email Dawn with your experiences at [email protected].
