Podcast: The Science of Early Brain Development

10.21.25

Introducing the "7 Pillar Strong Podcast"

Welcome to 7 Pillars Strong, the podcast where we explore wellness, whole-child learning, and the beautiful journey of raising resilient young learners. 

This month, we’re diving into one of the exciting pillars in our wellness framework: Brain Building. And here’s the wonderful truth—you don’t need flashcards, expensive toys, or a teaching degree to build your child’s brain. The most powerful learning moments happen right in the middle of everyday life.

In today’s episode, The Science of Early Brain Development, we’re exploring how young brains develop, why play is the ultimate learning tool, and how simple, everyday interactions—like cooking together, asking open-ended questions, or exploring nature—actually wire your child’s brain for problem-solving, creativity, and cognitive growth.

Whether you’re folding laundry with your toddler, building a block tower with your preschooler, or asking “what do you think will happen next?” during storytime, you’re doing the work. You’re building connections, strengthening pathways, and nurturing a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s talk about the incredible science behind Brain Building—and how you, as a grown-up, are your child’s most important teacher.

Let’s get started.
