Children who have a stable relationship with at least one caregiver learn at a faster pace, feel better about themselves, and make friends more easily.
What Can Parents Do?
- Hold your child on your lap during stressful situations, such as a doctor's visit
- Be a loving, consistent presence for your child
- Create an environment that allows your child to explore, but set limits to show both guidance and care
- Be predictable, nurturing and calm when interacting with your child
