The Talaris Institute is hosting their first Parenting Counts Webcast at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18. The Webcast will be hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Nelson, director of research and communication for Talaris, a Seattle-based research organization that supports early learning awareness and opportunities. The one-hour Webcast will focus on the latest research findings about brain development in the first years of life and what it tells us about what children need from parents and caregivers.
