Course information
This qualification provides an introduction to neuroscience in the early years – from birth to seven years.
Self-regulation in the early years is a critical set of skills that help children to remain calm, attentive, and able to deal with powerful emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness.
Children are not born with these skills; they develop them over time when they are supported to understand their feelings and actions by caring and responsive adults. This qualification covers key factors that may affect development in children, such as stress, adverse childhood experiences, and special educational needs and disabilities.
Understanding neuroscience in early years:
- Neuroscience of early brain development
- Neurons and their main functions
- Synaptogenesis
- How the social brain develops
Understanding self-regulation and how to nurture this in children from birth to seven years:
- The Limbic System

- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and influences that can affect a child's ability to self-regulate
- Coregulation and its role
- Stresses which impact on children
- Adverse childhood experiences and how they influence long-term well-being and development
