CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Beech Acres Parenting Center is offering a two-part workshop that will provide parents of young children with the latest research information on how to give their baby’s brain the very best start using every day activities and the five senses.

The Beech Acres STEPS (Security, Touch, Eyes, Play and Sound) workshop will help parents understand how early learning occurs. Among the topics to be covered:

                        caregivers.

            *          Why babies focus on movement and faces and why face time is critical.

            *          The role of play in learning.

            *          How babies brains are wired for language and how they communicate

                        even before they can speak.
