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.

New skills, abilities, and understandings, including increasing autonomy and responsibility for their actions, emerge when children can investigate and explore the things that interest them, practise and refine emerging skills and understanding.
