From Birth to Five: Understanding Your Child’s Development

From Birth to Five: Understanding Your Child’s Development
Milestones, developmental differences, autism and big feelings

Join Dr. Malie Coyne, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, University of Galway Lecturer, Author and Parent, for a warm and practical talk about understanding children’s development from birth to five.

Malie will explore:

• Developmental milestones and signs that a child may need extra help
• Early signs of autism and other developmental differences
• Speech, language, play and communication
• Understanding behaviour, big feelings and emotional regulation
• Helping children feel safe, calm and connected through secure relationships and “good enough” parenting
• When and where to ask for additional support

Drawing on over 25 years’ experience working with children and families, Malie will share practical ideas to help parents better understand their child, support their individual needs and strengths, and help them thrive.
