BornLearning
Children are constantly learning, right from birth. Their early years are the foundation for growth and development, and what they learn during those years depends on the experiences they have each and every day. This is our greatest challenge as caregivers, as well as our greatest opportunity.
How can parents, grandparents and caregivers support learning? Since children learn in a variety of ways and styles, to achieve developmental milestones the relationship with parents and primary caregivers is essential. It's a connection that allows for optimum learning.
Connecting Leads to Learning
Children are eager to connect with the adults in their lives, and it is through these relationships that children gain the confidence and the security they need to learn. All members of this community have unique roles and the ability to make an enormous difference.
Whether you are a mom, a dad, a grandparent or a childcare professional, you are facing one of life's most rewarding and challenging experiences - raising or caring for a child. And at some point, you probably could use a little help (watch video clip). Learn more about connecting with children (watch video clip).
The relationship you establish with the children in your care is key to early learning. For guidelines on what you can do to connect, read the 5 Steps to a Happier Baby: the Key to Early Learning.
