Whether you're a parent, educator, healthcare provider, community leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of Shasta County, your voice and participation matter. Let's build a community where every child—and every family—has the opportunity to thrive! Register at https://bit.ly/StrengtheningFamiliesOct2026 and invite a friend!

We had such a sweet time celebrating Dolly Day with a special story time at our Women’s, Babies’ & Children’s Center. Thank you to all the families who joined us! We loved seeing your children’s eyes light up as they listened to the stories.

A big thank you to First 5 Shasta for partnering with us, donating books, and helping make the day extra special. 💗

As Dolly Parton has shown us, a love of reading can open a world of possibilities for children, and we were so happy to celebrate that together with our community.

And because today is also Give Like Dolly Day, you can help put more books into the hands of local children. 📖💕

A baby’s amygdala is already well developed at birth. And the connections between the amygdala and other parts of the brain continue to develop rapidly during infancy.

Connecting to a large network of the brain including the brainstem, the amygdala helps our brain notice and respond to emotionally important information. Newborns can recognize familiar sensory experiences, such as a familiar voices, smells, sights and touch, while discomfort or stress can activate physiological responses such as a faster heart rate, rapid breathing, a tense body or a grimace.

These early months are an important period of brain development. Research shows that wiring of the amygdala changes substantially during infancy, and individual differences in amygdala connectivity present shortly after birth have been associated with later differences in fear, sadness and internalizing mental health symptoms by age 2.
