One of the most important factors in child development is the relationship between caregiver and child. As babies communicate with their caregivers through things like crying and laughing, it is important for caregivers to consistently respond. This consistency is the basis for a secure child-caregiver bond that will last a lifetime!

Did you know that it is recommended that bulky coats and snowsuits are removed from children while in the car to avoid injury in the case of an accident? These large layers can leave space between their bodies and harnesses, and can even cause them to slip out of their car seats completely.
Instead, buckle them in without their coats, and lay a coat or blanket on top of them over the straps!
