Young children experience the world in a completely different way from adults.

In Conversation with June O’Sullivan, CEO of LEYF.

Explore what it really means to support attention and focus in the early years, not by demanding silence or stillness, but by understanding the science behind how young children’s brains actually work.

We talk about the neuroscience of why neurodivergent children like repetition, and why unsuitable environments can trigger meltdowns, and we talk about how repetition and rhythms drive early brain development.

Sam talks about stress in young children and how, by being outside more with the children, we can reduce the potential triggers of stressful behaviours and reactions.

Explores how children's brains process information very differently from adults, particularly in noisy environments where they struggle to filter sounds.

Exploring ideas of attention and focus in young children, and how thinking about this is changing.
