If you care for children during their first few years of life, I'm talking about you. Whether you're a provider, a parent, a grandparent or a health care provider, you're building their abililty to care for others, with every caring interaction you have with them. It's not easy to make those interactions special. In order to do that you have to be cared for, too.
Stressed out caregivers don't produce relaxed environments filled with happy and relaxed children.
Do you work and live with people who care for and support you? If you don't, it might be time to make a change.
According to current research from Harvard University, the infant brain forms more than 1 million neural connections every second! And those connections form the foundation for all learning over the child's lifespan. So their experiences, both positive and negative, really do matter more than we previously believed.
That means you and your feelings matter. A lot. Enjoy and share this short video from the Harvard Center On The Developing Child that illustrates this in a few short minutes.
