Well-child visits provide a unique opportunity for promoting positive parenting practices and child brain development. Researchers describe four examples of brain-building models that health centers can implement.
Researchers at Texans Care for Children found that effective early brain-building programs only reach a fraction of Texas families who could benefit.
From home-visiting programs to innovative models based in pediatric clinics, EHF is providing $3.5 million to efforts that are focused on helping parents and caregivers promote early childhood brain development. It’s part of EHF’s plan to give the youngest Texans in need the best chance at a healthy life.
