Understanding the infant brain and parenting little ones

Unlock a life-changing understanding of how your little one's mind works.

As the founder of The Lifestage Lab, Sara supports parents and educators with practical, evidence-based tools to manage children’s behaviour and support emotional development.

From unexpected tangents to honest conversations about life, business, and everything in between, nothing is off-limits when I sit down with Sara. We connected through our business coach, and I’ve been so grateful to have her in my world ever since. She’s a true powerhouse - balancing her work as a play therapist, psychology teacher, mum, and entrepreneur.

In this episode, we cover:

How infant brain development shapes behaviour in the early years

What is biologically normal when it comes to babies and young children

Common myths about behaviour and emotional development

How to respond to challenging behaviour with confidence and clarity

Why adult expectations can sometimes conflict with children’s developmental needs

If you’re preparing for, or knee-deep in life with your new baby, this episode is a powerful reminder of what’s truly normal in early development. We explore how modern parenting pressures can disconnect us from our instincts - and how understanding child development and emotional regulation can help you feel more grounded and confident.
