8 Tips for Building Positive Relationships With Children in Your Care

Positive relationships are critical for children. They nurture confidence, resilience, and determination, all of which are essential for children to thrive.

The good news is positive relationships can develop anywhere! From parents and caregivers to teachers and even extended family and friends.

Everyone has a role to ensure children are safe, loved and given the opportunity to thrive.

SINGING EMOTIONS

As your baby explores the world around them, they’re not just learning physical and cognitive skills. They’re also discovering their social and emotional selves.

By observing expressions and gestures and listening closely to words and sounds, they’re beginning to understand how actions, sounds, and feelings are all connected. This helps them to identify and express their own emotions while also learning how to understand the feelings of others.
