PARENTS wanting the answer to raising a happy, healthy child, can quiz the experts at Essex Babylab.

Based at Essex University, the Babylab is hosting a joint breakfast event with BabyBrains, a course facilitated by qualified trainers who help parents put scientific research into practice.

The Q&A session will be held on Saturday, June 23 from 10am at Essex University's Colchester campus.

Dr Silvia Rigato, of the Babylab, said: “Our research can help parents become more aware of their child’s development. This project is the first step in empowering them with scientific knowledge and tools which can help them give their children the best start in life."

The session is part of a four-day event, focused at organisations and health professionals working with young families to improve services and support for families.
