Read more about the eight critical pillars to wellbeing below:
Intellectual Functioning and Learning
Getting ready for school begins in the womb! The human brain is growing before birth and into our mid to late 20s! But it is those first three years of life that can drastically shape our children’s brain development into their adult years, when the brain is most open to learning and enriching experiences.
Mindset and Spirituality
A belief is a thought you think over and over again. Our belief systems start forming from birth, and as adults, our mindset highly impacts the way we parent and the way we view the world. A strong foundation begins with a growth mindset for both the parent and the child.
Nutrition and Gut Health
Nutrition is an incredibly important component for building better brains! Without brain health geared nutrition, the gut and body are not able to produce the chemicals that make us feel good, help us cope with difficult situations, and support the brain to create an optimal learning environment. And without a healthy gut, our children can experience digestive issues, sleep disturbances, fatigue, allergies, rashes, behavioral and emotional difficulties, physical and emotional illness, and many other ailments!
Brain Development
During the first three years, a child’s brain is crafting more than a million neural connections every second. These remarkable beginnings shape the very foundation of a lifetime, influencing not only cognitive growth, but also the formation of habits, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. Unlocking the secrets of the developing brain is key to minimizing tears, tantrums, and meltdowns.
Environmental Factors
What happens around the body is important for brain functioning! From the colors used in a child’s bedroom to the time spent outdoors, environmental factors can have a strong impact on children’s emotions and their ability to regulate. Moreover, toxins such as mercury, mold, lead, pesticides, BPA’s and phthalates, among many others, can cause havoc to the brain, body, and gut microbiota. They are highly important to address to optimize brain health.
Exercise and Movement
Movement is essential to brain functioning for cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. Movement also helps children regulate thus minimizing and preventing emotional breakdowns throughout the day. It improves sleep, the detoxification of the brain and body, stress reduction, and overall mood. Rhythmic movement is also highly important in learning!
Stress Reduction
From the moment of conception, stress can significantly impact brain health leading to emotional and physical consequences. Stress comes from our thoughts and real life experiences, from the foods we eat, and from exposure to environmental toxins, thus it is critical to keep stress under control to optimize brain health and overall wellness.
Social and Emotional Development
Relationships help build strong and healthy brains! Every single early experience matters, no matter how big or how small. Brain connections formed through the context of relationships affect the way we learn, think, how we manage our feelings, and define how we interact with others.
