Sensory development

No two babies respond to the world the same way. Occupational therapist and Parent Sense founder Meg Faure unpacks her framework of the four sensory personalities, the Settled Baby, the Social Butterfly, the Sensitive Baby and the Slow to Warm Up Baby, and shows how recognising each one changes the advice you give on sleep, feeding and play. CPD accredited and built for anyone working with babies and toddlers.

Feeding

Paediatric dietitians Kath Megaw, Lucy Jackman and Natalia Stasenko unpack organic causes often hiding behind picky eating, including why reflux is usually a symptom, not a diagnosis, how eosinophilic esophagitis gets missed, why non-IgE cow's milk protein allergy matters, how to spot constipation early, and how to tell developmental picky eating apart from a feeding difficulty that needs referral.

Health

Screens are part of everyday family life, but screen time alone doesn't tell the whole story. Meg Faure and Rachel Barr, PhD, explore the latest research on family media ecology, including how children's individual differences, media content, family context and the motivations behind media use shape their experiences with screens, from emotion regulation and transitions away from media to YouTube, video chat and joint engagement.

Workplace

Many mothers leave their jobs in the year after having a baby, and organisations absorb the cost of replacing them, often far more than the cost of supporting them would have been. Meg Faure hosts Alexa Starks, Denise Heavey and Phillipa Geard to explore why supporting mothers back to work is one of the smartest retention decisions an organisation can make.

Regulation

We often expect children to calm themselves down and manage big feelings long before their brains are ready. Meg Faure hosts infant mental health clinician Kelli McDermot and occupational therapist Beryl Smith to untangle what regulation, self-regulation and co-regulation actually mean, and how to spot dysregulation before it shows up as behaviour.

Health

In the week of World Prematurity Day, Meg Faure hosts Prof Welma Lubbe and Kath Megaw to unite families and healthcare workers in nurturing premature babies, covering sensory care in the NICU, the role of a preemie parent and the NICU feeding journey, with a live panel Q&A.

Health

The first 1 000 days, from conception to a child's second birthday, are one of the most important windows for lifelong physical, cognitive and emotional health. Meg Faure and guest experts explore the science behind early childhood development and how healthcare professionals can use early intervention as preventative medicine.

Health

Meg Faure and expert panellists explore maternal mental health, infant attachment and the clinician's role in recognising the early signs of perinatal mental health challenges, giving doctors, midwives, psychologists and allied health professionals practical screening and referral tools.

Workplace

Meg Faure and industry panellists explore how HR leaders, executives and wellbeing teams can better retain and support parents, with practical, evidence-based strategies to build a healthier, more family friendly workplace culture.
