Your Question?
Hi i was just wanting to know if anyone has an understanding of brain research within the eylf policy. What areas it relates to and whether it is or is not privileged within the document?

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I think that the brain research aspect relates to interactions, communications, environment, culture but i am not sure if this is correct and need some other opinions.
Please help!!!!

Yeah, I agree with your response. Brain research is an important part of child development especially in the first 3 years of life. Within the EYLF, I think that Brain research is related through out... for example: establishing relationships, play based learning, extending on individual interests etc.

Im attaching some documents below in regards to brain research and development, maybe this can give you a clearer understanding...
