New!family
Running Time: 35 minutes
A professional development program from the publishers of Pre-K Today Magazine for early childhood staff development and parent education. Floor time can be thought of as an understanding, an attitude, or a concept that embodies the importance of fostering children's emotional development, as well as a warm and intimate way of relating to children. Floor time defines five clear steps that allow adults who live and work with children to be aware of and to build on their intuitive understanding of children's emotional growth.

84. ABC New Primetime Live: From the Beginning (1996)
New!
Running Time: 16 minutes
This video explores a young child's need for stimulation and a loving environment in order for the brain to form necessary connections. Trauma and stress can have a direct impact on the brain of a young child or baby by actually closing the receptors for learning. The video shows how singing, listening to, and playing music changes the brain. Music strengthens the pathways in the young brain used for math and reasoning. Another point addressed by the video is that training a child to memorize through repetition can help the memory greatly. The last key point made compares a young child's brain to that of baby birds. If baby birds don't hear their parents sing, they may never learn to sing themselves.
