Humans are built to connect. Building connection begins in utero and continues throughout life.
Research shows that the first 5 years of a childs’ life are when the most prolific brain development occurs. This is directly impacted by all the little interactions between the parent and the child. Even the way a parent holds their baby’s gaze and shares a smile will positively impact their relationship and the baby’s brain growth. Knowing how connection is built and what happens in the brain is the key to making sense of your childs’ behaviour.
Understanding the ‘why’ gives us the ‘how’ to respond to and support our children as they grow up - how to nurture well. Setting our kids and families up for success in life. To thrive, to live, to love.
“We best help our children develop emotional health when we are willing to grow at the same time.”
