A Note from the Team
Your Relationships with your children are extremely important at this age. Greeting your children as they arrive, showing them respect when you speak with them, respond to them when they are communicating with you, are a few important skills that adults can model for the children. The impact of these relationships and exchanges will be seen in the future.
