Children's early development is greatly affected by the mental health of the adults who care for them.

The details:

▪️ Optimal child development, including during the perinatal period, is based on feeling safe, secure and loved.

▪️ Primary caregivers need support to have the capacity to be attuned, consistently meet their child’s needs, and nurture healthy attachment. These relationships are often dependent on the caregiver’s own mental health and well-being.

When managing challenging behaviors in young children, using guidance is about building an encouraging setting for every child. It means helping young children understand they can learn from their mistakes, and how. To give this help successfully, it is important to build relationships with every child.
