Thrive Childcare and Education Curriculum Expert Interview

A delight to be part of the Thrive Childcare and Education curriculum expert interview series!

For those of you who do not know, to my right, is Head of EY at Thrive, Ursula Krystek-Walton. She and her teams across Thrive (approx.) 50 settings, have TRANSFORMED their policies/practice as a result of Ursula’s engagement with my training on self-regulation (SR). The continued impact being referrals for SEND halved, calmer children and staff, improved relationships between children and their parents (who are now more aware of their own mental health) and children who are better able to self-regulate.

Their exemplary practice is showcased in my latest book, The Neuroscience of the Developing Child: Self-Regulation for Wellbeing and a Sustainable Future, available to buy at: https://amzn.to/3nNVB7X

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
