Summary of Bio – David Hesketh, MSc

After graduating from McMaster University’s Neuropharmacology Lab, I dropped my pursuit of medicine for teaching. Experiencing that teaching in the system was not child-centred, I entered and graduated from the Waldorf Teacher Training Program in Toronto, I took my first High School post in Johannesburg, South Africa at the time of Nelson Mandela’s release. After the transition to democracy, I returned to Canada, later to become the Principal at the Vancouver Waldorf School. After 9 years, I returned to Johannesburg, shortly after which, I left the formal classroom to start my own business, teaching methods of health and wellness to students and business people under the banner of BrainFocus Centre.
The role of stress in health and, indeed, mental health, became an urgent matter to me. I dove deeper into the the brain-mind function and tested a wide array of techniques to learn how to deal with my own stress, and then,  to achieve the best results my clients. This has led me to develop The Brain Development Parenting Framework. This serves as the closest thing to a parenting manual or script for holistic child development. It provides certainty for  parents and educators alike because the  framework gives them purpose-driven focus, informing decisions and strategies according to their own unique parenting style and the child’s needs.

The Intention
To be a source of help and service to parents by giving them tools they need to navigate their doubts and  uncertainty of the future by empowering them to create their own Parenting Framework based on in how the brain develops (identity, thinking, consciousness) so that the children will be happier, healthier and a successful. This will lead to untold levels of joy and certainty in the life of parents.
