In this essential session, Nathan Wallis explains why the first 1000 days: from conception to age three shape almost every aspect of a child’s lifelong outcomes. Drawing on decades of neuroscience, developmental psychology, and real-world experience, he breaks down how the early environment literally builds a brain and why love, language, and attachment matter far more than most people realise.

If you’re raising a child, this talk will change what you prioritise. If you’re supporting others to raise children, it gives the scientific backing for why early nurture matters more than test scores or fancy toys. And if you’ve ever felt guilt about getting it wrong, it offers perspective, hope, and practical insight.

✅ Why the first 1000 days are more influential than genetics

✅ How language shapes intelligence, income, and emotional strength

✅ What ‘responsive parenting’ really means and why it works

✅ The link between birth order and later-life outcomes

✅ How the brain grows (and why it’s not fully wired at birth)

✅ The surprising science behind attachment, trust, and development

✅ What creates risk and what builds resilience

✅ Why early childhood isn’t about learning to read: it’s about wiring for life

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I actually get when I buy?

You’ll get instant access to stream the video from your browser or phone. Everything’s designed to be practical and easy to revisit whenever you need a reset, or your kid throws a curveball.

Are these videos live?

Nope. They’re on-demand, which means you can watch them whenever suits you—pause, rewind, rewatch, or skip to the bit you care about. Whether you’re up at 2am with a newborn or hiding in the pantry during a toddler tantrum, it’s there for you.

Do I have to watch the videos in a certain order?

Not at all. Each webinar focuses on a different stage of development—so just jump into the one that fits your kid’s age (or your interest). That said, lots of parents tell me they watched one and ended up watching all three. Once you start seeing how it all connects, it’s hard not to go deeper.

Is Nathan's teachings actually based on science?

Absolutely. Everything Nathan teaches is grounded in 25+ years of research in neuroscience, human development, trauma, and education. I’ve lectured at university level, trained social workers, advised governments and distilled all that into language that makes sense in a living room, not a lab.

Who are these for? Just mums?

Hell no. These are for anyone raising or working with kids: mums, dads, grandparents, teachers, youth workers, even curious teenagers. If you’ve got a kid in your life and want to understand what’s going on in their head, you’re in the right place.

Do you offer refunds?

We stand behind the content, but if you’ve accidentally bought the wrong webinar or something’s gone sideways, reach out and we’ll sort it. We’re human. We get it.
