After the conversation there is an added extra that was recorded at Geek Showoff earlier this year. This involves more from me about The Moomins.

GBA 163 Emma

Patty and Brian talk about the 5 (4?!) stages of brain development and their implications for critical thinking.

ZERO TO THREE’s podcast series, Little Kids, Big Questions, addresses some of the most common (and challenging) issues facing parents of babies and toddlers. In this podcast, learn about early brain development and how young children learn.

Little Kids, Big Questions: Nurturing Brain Development From  Birth to Three

Known as The Wonder Years, ages three to five is when children explore and engage with the world, learn how to be friends and how to control their bodies, minds and emotions. With your help, these years will build a fertile foundation for your child’s entire life.

Parenting Your Preschooler: 4 Things They Need to Thrive

A discussion featuring Glenn Whitman, Director of the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, on how educators are using mind, brain, and education science to improve teaching and learning.

Bringing Mind, Brain, and Education Science to Teachers and the Classroom

What happens when you do not receive what you need in early life?  The effects of a nonresponsive and insensitive childhood are discussed.

About the Evolved Nest

Every animal has a nest for its young that matches up with the maturational schedule of the offspring (Gottlieb, 1997). Humans too! The Evolved Nest (or Evolved Developmental Niche; EDN) refers to the nest for young children that humans inherit from their ancestors. It's one of our adaptations, meaning that it helped our ancestors survive. Most characteristics of the evolved nest emerged with social mammals more than 30 million years ago.

Humans are distinctive in that babies are born highly immature (only 25% of adult-sized brain at full-term birth) and should be in the womb another 18 months to even resemble newborns of other species! As a result, the brain/body of a child is highly influenced by early life experience.

Multiple epigenetic effects occur in the first months and years based on the timing and type of early experience. Humanity's evolved nest was first identified by Melvin Konner (2005) as the "hunter-gatherer childhood model" and includes breastfeeding 2-5 years, nearly constant touch, responsiveness to baby's needs, multiple responsive adult caregivers, free play with multiple-aged playmates, positive social support for mom and baby.

Calling these components the Evolved Nest or Evolved Developmental Niche, Narvaez and colleagues add to the list soothing perinatal experience (before, during, after birth) and a positive, welcoming social climate. All these are characteristic of the type of environment in which the human genus lived for 99% of its existence. Below are publications and a powerpoint about the evolved nest.

Why does the evolved nest matter? Early years are when virtually all neurobiological systems are completing their development. They form the foundation for the rest of life, including getting along with others, sociality and morality.

The Evolved Nest is a breakthrough concept that integrates findings across fields that bear on child development, child raising and adult behavior.  The Evolved Nest promotes optimal health and wellbeing, cooperation, and receptive and sociomoral intelligences. Societal moves away from providing the Evolved Nest have contributed to the ill being and dysregulation we see in one another and society. Learn how to nest your children and re-nest yourself.
