This is Of Brains & Babies. I’m your host, Sydney Minetto and I loooove all things development- from conception through birth and into early childhood. My number one goal as an educator is to empower mothers with tools to have more balanced children. Each week you will find impactful tidbits, expert conversations, and in-depth discussions about child development and the best ways to parent in a busy and ever-changing world.So if you like babies and/or brain info with some semi-crunchy tidbits here and there then we can be friends!
