🎙️ Infant Brain Development, Parenting Responses & Transgenerational Trauma | Neurofeedback Podcast

Join Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has analyzed over 500,000 brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle (author of i-Minds), and host Pete Jansons for another engaging NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast episode discussing neuroscience, psychology, mental health, and brain training.

✅ Infant Brain Development Explained: Jay and Mari dive into the astonishing neurological growth from womb to toddlerhood, how sensory pathways evolve, and the importance of face-to-face interactions in the first 3 years.
✅ Parenting Responses and Emotional Regulation: Learn how calm parenting fosters emotional stability in infants, how toddlers interpret safety, and why your response to a child’s fall matters more than you think.
✅ Transgenerational Trauma & Epigenetics: The team unpacks how trauma passes through generations—even before birth—and why both the mother's and grandmother’s stress may affect a child’s mental health and development.

✅ Additional Topics:
👉 EEG norms and myths about early ADHD/bipolar diagnosis
👉 The dangers of overdiagnosing "tantrums" in toddlers
👉 When neurofeedback is appropriate for young children
👉 Judith Lubar's legacy in family neurotherapy
👉 Surrogacy, socioeconomic influences, and prenatal brain impact
👉 Why tech stimulation (iPads) can be just as harmful as neglect
