I am very excited to announce that I will start hosting Babybrains® workshops for parents and professionals. As a pedagogical professional, my heart expands when I can share this valuable information to (new) parents. Psychology, Pedagogy, Science made accessible and easy to understand and implement in everyday life.
What is Babybrains®?
Babybrains® is a series of interactive workshops designed to help parents and educators better understand the development of children aged 0-4.
We will do that while taking a look at recent research in Neuroscience and Psychology in a fun, engaging way.
Created by Silvia Dalvit Ménabé, an Italian neuroscientist, it is the only parenting education program endorsed by the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Cambridge.
Our mission: To empower parents with the latest scientific knowledge, to interact with their children in the most effective way, to improve the quality of development and of the parent/child relationship.

Babybrains® is not a user’s manual: It helps you understand children’s behaviors and learn how to respond to their needs. Science can help us understand why children act the way they do, but only you as a parent, or caregiver, know what the right strategy for your child is.
Babybrains® gives you the tools to become an informed, positive, effective parent.
We often feel frustrated and experience information overload. There is a lot of literature out there telling us what to do. Our expectations are high and too often don’t match what our children can do or their developmental state.
What if we stood still for a moment and looked at our children?
What are they telling us?
What are they showing us?
Your child is the only one who can tell you what (s)he needs.
I am going to show you how to use the scientific approach to gain a better understanding of our children. This is what we call the L.O.V.E. approach:
Learn through
Observations
Validate through
