Did you know a child's early environment and relationships shape their ability to focus, manage emotions, and solve problems? Join us for an interactive session with Dr. Samantha Iwinski to explore how household dynamics, green space access, and parent-child interactions impact executive function and learn practical strategies to foster healthy development and create a supportive environment.
Iwinski is a Visiting Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Human Development & Family Studies. Her research interests include parent-child relationships, attachment, executive function, household environment, and access.
A partnership between the Illinois Extension and the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute, the Community Seminar Series provides educational seminars of interest to the community each fall, spring, and summer, delivered virtually by graduate students and postdoctoral research trainees.
