Episode 33 - Boosting your baby's development | Taryn Schneider & Cornelia Liebentritt

In this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure, Meg is joined by fellow Occupational Therapists and founders of Connect with Me, Taryn Schneider & Cornelia Liebentritt.

As parents, we often focus on gross motor milestones to gauge our baby's development but as the professionals explain, there is an emotional component to development. Taryn & Cornelia share a keen interest in how the emotional connection between a child & a care giver can enhance a little one's development. They created the DevelopME programme to teach parents how to access their child's emotional world on a daily basis to encourage milestone development.

Little ones rely on their moms & dads to teach them how to regulate in the world. It's a fascinating process that starts during bonding and complete regulation in the early days to co-regulation in toddlerhood to self regulation. They go on to explore emotional intelligence and they each share their favourite milestone and why.
