S13. Learning in the Womb: How Love, Learning and Attachment Begin Before Children Enter the World Presented by Dan Wuori It’s a common refrain: We want children to come to kindergarten “ready to learn.” But learning doesn’t begin at age five. And even to suggest it begins on Day One doesn’t quite capture the reality, which is that children begin learning about the world even before they enter it. Join author Dan Wuori for a look at the cutting edge research that reveals how children begin learning in the weeks leading up to their birth. *Spanish translation provided.
