Tip: Build the Future by Producing Emotionally Healthy Climate Change Ready Kids - And it Starts with Parent's Stable Relationship

Stable Relationships. Every child needs a stable relationship with a loving adult. Without one, the brain has trouble making necessary connections to grow and develop. Parents need to provide a healthy environment socially and emotionally as well as physically in which a child can explore and learn with guidance. When a child can observe healthy relationships between adults, they also learn how to build healthy relationships of their own.

Human touch from others and their need to touch everything should not be overlooked. Touch is how young infants know they are loved. It sends signals to the brain, causing it to grow (or develop) fully.

Interaction. A relationship between a child and their parent is vital to the child’s development. The earlier you engage, the more impact you will have on the growth and development of a child’s brain. The key to interaction is matching your behavior to your baby/child."
