• Bilingualism and Cognitive Development: How does speaking multiple languages shape children’s cognitive abilities?
• Second Language Acquisition: What strategies assist children learning a second language in reading and comprehension?
• Neurodevelopmental Disorders: What are the early indicators of neurodevelopmental disorders, and how can we effectively support affected children?
• Socio-emotional development: How do a child’s relationships and social interactions influence their emotional growth and learning outcomes?
• Mental Health: What effects does early adversity have on children’s mental health?
• Creativity and Development: How does creativity evolve in children, and how does it influence their cognitive and emotional growth?
• Mind-Brain Connections: What are the links between mental processes and neurological development, and how do biological mechanisms facilitate learning?
