A baby's nervous system is not simply a smaller version of an adult nervous system.
It's developing.
Every new experience provides information.
Movement.
Touch.
Sound.
Balance.
Feeding.
Sleep.
Interaction with the environment.
These experiences help a developing nervous system organize and learn.
That is one reason early development deserves thoughtful attention.
Rather than expecting a developing body to behave like a fully mature one, we can become curious about the patterns it is building.
How is your child moving?
How are they responding to their environment?
What changes are you noticing?
What does their development look like over time?
Dr. Erin Jewel Rosen has a special interest in working with developing bodies and nervous systems, with care that considers the individual child rather than simply focusing on a single symptom.
Supporting development isn't about trying to control every stage.
It's about creating an environment where the body can develop, adapt, and function as well as possible.
