Abstract
What are the most important things you can do to foster healthy development in young minds? What might smartphones and tablets be doing to a developing brain? What are the keys to developing emotional well-being in young people? Scientists know! Since the early 1990's we have learned a great deal about the human brain. Importantly, neuro-scientific research has provided valuable information related to how the brain matures and develops and the complex interplay between nature and nurture. This presentation explores key aspects of the developing brain and shares what the latest science has to say about nurturing healthy young minds.
