In a secure relationship, children are comforted when they are scared or unsure. With your support, they can more confidently explore their environment, opening up rich opportunities to enhance their thinking and reasoning skills, emotional adaptability, and capacity to form new relationships.

Play & Learn At Home
Here are some ways interaction strategies to promote secure relationships with your child:

While your child is playing, take a moment to quietly observe with your full attention.

Connect with their activities by posing questions driven by genuine curiosity, saving those with predetermined answers for later on in their development.

Enhance their learning experiences by building on what they are doing, such as finding a book about what they are doing. 

By supporting who they are and how they learn, we can contribute to helping children feel seen, heard, and valued.
