Every day is an opportunity for some sensory exploration! 👋👀👃👅👂

💌This month, the Houston Infant and Toddler Coalition is shining a light on Playful Parents. One way we can bring play into parenthood is by stopping to smell the roses and exploring the 5 senses with our little ones!

Explore the Great Outdoors Together!

👀Sight: Look around and talk about all the different colors, shapes, and sizes of all the things in nature. Maybe you can even play a quick game of “I Spy”!

👂Sound: Can you hear the wind blowing in the trees? Or listen to the buzzing of the bees? Can you copy the sounds that nature makes? Try breathing out and wooshing like the wind or buzzing together like bees!

👋Touch: Don’t be afraid to get hands-on and explore all the different textures of the flowers, grass, rocks, and maybe even the dirt! Yes, it might get a little messy, but you can always wash your hands afterwards!

👃Smell: Take a deep breath in and talk about all the new smells around you. Find the best, or maybe the worst, smelling flower together!

👅Taste: We smell the roses, we DON’T eat them, but we CAN imagine what they would taste like. Would they be sweet? Sour? Bitter? Do all flowers taste the same or different? Let your imagination run wild!

There is always time for play— let us know what you and your little one discover with your senses together! 🔍

🧠 Early brain wiring may hold the key to understanding infant emotions 💡

New research from the University of Pittsburgh reveals that the brain’s “information highways” — tiny white matter connections — are already shaping emotional development by just 3 months old.

Using advanced MRI imaging, scientists found that the structure of these neural pathways may predict how babies’ emotions and self-soothing skills will grow over the next six months.

🔍 Why it matters:
1. Early detection of neural markers could help us identify children at risk before emotional challenges emerge — opening the door to targeted support during critical windows of development.

2. Neural connections that form as early as 3 months old have the potential to impact a lifetime of emotional development, highlighting the importance of nurturing connections in the earliest years.

These findings bring us one step closer to understanding the emotional blueprint of early life and how we might nurture healthy development from the very beginning. ❤️

⏳7 DAYS LEFT UNTIL REGISTRATION CLOSES!!
In a time of complexity and transition in child welfare, we return to what matters most: the power of connection.

Rooted in Connection: Relationships, Repair, and Resilience centers the essential relationships that shape an infant’s life — with their parents, caregivers, communities, and systems.

This year’s theme is a call to slow down, refocus, and recommit to healing-centered practices that honor the strengths of families and the developmental needs of infants and toddlers.

From the NICU to the Nest: The Dual Journey of Infant and Parental Mental Health 🧑‍🧒

Aug 18, 2025 | 1-2PM | Webinar via Zoom
🎟️ FREE for F3Y Members | $15 for non-members
🔗 Register today: https://first3yearstx.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/first3yearstx/eventRegistration.jsp?event=5195&

A NICU stay rewrites the first chapter of a baby’s life. Instead of lullabies, there are alarms. Instead of skin-to-skin, there are wires and masks. Bodies heal, but nervous systems remember. Parents carry their own marks too—grief, guilt, and the fear of getting too attached in case something goes wrong. And when discharge day finally comes, the anxiety often tags along for the ride home.

In this session, we’ll sit with both stories. Two parents, Jaxon’s mom and dad, will take us inside their six-week NICU experience, sharing the messy mix of hope, hurt, and hospital humor it took to get through each day. We’ll talk about how early medical trauma shapes infant brain development and bonding, why a caregiver’s mental health is just as critical as oxygen saturation, and how professionals can keep showing up long after the monitors stop beeping.

Here’s a sneak peek at one of our Day Two Conference Sessions! 👀

Disrupted Bonds⛓️‍💥: Child Welfare, Trafficking, and the Urgency of Connection
This powerful panel explores the often-overlooked intersection between child welfare involvement and human trafficking. As children experience relational disruptions, multiple placements, or exit systems without support, they become increasingly vulnerable to exploitation.

Led by the Tarrant County Human Trafficking Task Force, this session will spotlight the realities of trafficking in our local communities, share survivor-informed insights, and examine how professionals across child welfare, law enforcement, and the legal system can work together to identify, protect, and support at-risk children 👶🫂

Panelists will also discuss how early, stable relationships — especially for infants and toddlers — can serve as a critical foundation for prevention, detection, and healing

August is National Breastfeeding Month! Here’s how breastfeeding centers the caregiver-child relationship and promotes Early Relational Health!🤱

🧘💞 Emotional Regulation: Consistent and nurturing interactions during breastfeeding establish a reliable source of emotional comfort between caregiver and child. Fostering emotional security supports emotional regulation and builds a strong, secure relationship!

🧠❣️ Bonding Hormones: Studies have shown that higher levels of oxytocin, the “cuddle chemical” released during breastfeeding, promote positive emotions like trust & relaxation and support caregiver-child bonding!

🫶🫂 Skin-to-skin: Physical comfort and face-to-face interactions improve communication as caregiver and child grow familiar with each other's nonverbal cues. This unspoken understanding is foundational for building a safe, nurturing bond!
