Parents, educators and others interested in infant and child development are invited to the lecture: Meaning Making: How Infants and Young Children Make Meaning of Themselves in the World on Thursday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Ethical Society of St. Louis in Clayton.

Speaker Edward Z. Tronich, PhD., is a world-class researcher and teacher recognized internationally for his work on the neurobehavioral and social emotional development of infants and young children, parenting in the U.S. and other countries and infant-parent mental health. The lecture will focus on the ways infants make meaning of the world using non-verbal processes, including emotional and actions through social play and relationships. Dr. Tronick will also discuss how the "meaning making" process may lead to typical or to abnormal childhood development. Tickets are $15 per person and are available at www.stlpi.org or by calling 314-361-7075, ext. 323. At the Ethical Society of St. Louis, 9001 Clayton Road, St. Louis, MO 63117.
