Self Regulation

While Dr Conkbayir has long been an advocate of the crucial importance of Self-regulation in child development, it is only in recent years that it has been added to the EYFS.

To help as many Early Years practitioners as possible learn how to embed Self-regulation into their practice Mine has developed a range of online resources to help you learn all about this vital tool in the EYFS toolbox!

Hello Mine. You gave a talk once at LJMU for Education studies and Early Years students. Ever since, I have been hooked on your work which has inspired me and I would like to thank you.

Seminar Feedback, Student at Liverpool John Moores University

Inspirational talk and excellent research from Mine. Mine was an excellent, clear speaker, she spoke with very little crutch words which made her a great talker and clear to understand throughout the talk. I learnt tremendous amounts of information and I will become a much better person from this talk. I have a lot of respect for you. There should be more people like you. You are my new role model!

Seminar Feedback

One of the best speakers! Immediate, knowledgeable, determined and fun!!!

Seminar Feedback, LDN Talks | Inside the Brain of a Child

Working at Body & Soul, a childhood adversity charity, we see many people who have experienced significant trauma in their early lives. Mine’s research is crucial for understanding the effects of trauma and toxic stress on the brain, and sharing what can be done to transform these effects so that children and adults alike can thrive regardless of their past experiences. Great talk Mine!

Thank you so much for your training on achieving trauma-informed practice. It was incredible, thought provoking, reflective and practice changing.
ALL childcare practitioners/parents – anyone in the wonderful position to be in contact with children NEED to be aware of Dr Mine Conkbayir, her insight and utter brilliance.

Excellent! Listening to Mine made me realise that more people need to be informed about the neurological development of children and the power that love and nurture have!

Jayne Windsor, Manager of Clare House Nursery, Somerset.

A very engaging and informative presentation. Can’t wait to buy Mine’s book and have a good read of the theory and evidence, to relate it to my own practices. Highly recommend!

A FABULOUS addition to my bookshelf. Thanks for writing this book Mine. I’ve recommended it to all my students (who are scrambling to buy a copy). A long overdue look at childhood from an evidence-based neuroscience perspective, no pseudoscience, no hype, AND an enjoyable read. You’re my new hero!
