Observe how your baby expresses physical needs non-verbally or verbally and respond appropriately.

WHY IT MATTERS

Parents and caregivers need support developing their capacity to create positive, sensitive and engaging interactions with their infants and toddlers.

Well-being is defined as “a complex physical and psychological state comprising good physical health and feelings of happiness, satisfaction and social functioning”.

It is demonstrated through one’s interactions in the environment. Interactions between parent/caregiver and child are essential for healthy brain development and the child's overall well-being.

The quality of babies’ early learning experiences at home and in other care settings has a lasting impact on their preparedness for lifelong learning and success.
