Building Connection

Helping your child feel important is a crucial step in building a strong emotional connection with them.  Connection makes people feel safe and fosters healthy brain development.

 Often children know the answers or have some great ideas…sometimes they may need some guidance.  Having a connection allows the pathways to open and often gives people confidence to speak up and have a go, knowing they will be respected and have their ideas valued.

Try these great ideas with your child to build and foster your connection and help children feel seen and listened to:
