Baby Sense Online Course

We live in a sensory-rich world and spend each waking moment taking in information from the world through our senses. Our intricate nervous system and brain process this sensory information and we respond emotionally and act on it. As we progress through life, we develop the ability to select which sensory information to attend to and how to respond. Your young baby’s brain, however, is much less developed than yours.
