Successfully Conducted '' Know Your Child's Brain'' Course Batch-11

Vygotsky Child-Parent Consulting and Learning Center successfully conducted Batch 11 of the “Know Your Child’s Brain” Course, an engaging learning programme designed to help parents, teachers, caregivers, and early childhood professionals better understand children's brains, emotions, behaviour, and development.

Facilitated by Priyanka Chaguthi, Parenting Coach, Early Years Educator, Teacher Trainer, and Founder of Vygotsky Nepal, the course provided participants with practical, brain-based insights into children's behaviour and emotional needs.

Understanding Children Through the Lens of the Brain

Children's behaviour is closely connected to their developing brains. Understanding how the brain develops and responds to emotions can help adults respond to children with greater awareness and empathy.

The “Know Your Child’s Brain” course introduces participants to brain-based approaches to understanding children's behaviour and emotional responses. Inspired by concepts from The Whole-Brain Child, the course helps participants connect knowledge of neuroscience and child development with everyday parenting and teaching situations.

What Participants Explored

Throughout Batch 11, participants explored important topics related to children's brain development and behaviour, including:

• Understanding the developing brain

• How children's brains influence their behaviour

• Emotional responses and children's behaviour

• Understanding children's big emotions

• Brain development during early childhood

• The connection between emotions, behaviour, and relationships

• Supporting children during emotional overwhelm

• Building emotional awareness and regulation

• Responding to children's needs with greater understanding

• Strengthening parent-child and teacher-child connections

• Applying brain-based approaches in everyday situations

From Behaviour to Understanding

One of the key messages of the course was the importance of looking beyond children's behaviour and considering what may be happening in the child's developing brain and emotional world.

Children may struggle to regulate emotions, communicate their needs, or manage frustration because the skills required for self-regulation are still developing.

Understanding this developmental process can help parents, teachers, and caregivers respond more intentionally and support children as they gradually develop their own emotional regulation skills.

Practical Learning for Parents, Teachers and Caregivers

The course was designed to connect knowledge with real-life situations. Participants were encouraged to reflect on their experiences with children and explore practical ways to apply brain-based approaches at home, in classrooms, and in other caregiving environments.

The learning experience is particularly valuable for:

• Parents and parents-to-be

• Teachers and early childhood educators

• Preschool teachers

• Caregivers

• School leaders

• Child development professionals

• Anyone interested in understanding children's behaviour and development

Strengthening the Adults Around Children

Children's development is influenced not only by what they learn but also by the relationships and environments around them.

By understanding children's developing brains, adults can become more responsive to children's emotional and developmental needs and create environments that support connection, safety, learning, and healthy development.

About the “Know Your Child’s Brain” Course

“Know Your Child’s Brain – Learn the Neurological Way to Deal with Children and Their Behaviour” is a signature learning programme of Vygotsky Nepal.

The course focuses on helping adults understand children's behaviour through the lens of brain development, emotions, relationships, and child development, with practical strategies that can be applied in everyday life.

Congratulations to Batch 11 Participants

We hope the knowledge and insights gained through the programme will help participants build stronger connections with children and create more supportive environments for their growth and well-being.

Understanding the child's brain is a step toward understanding the child.
