Working with very young children requires the engagement of a caregiver. Playful interventions that increase attunement, nurturing, and fund between the child-caregiver dyad, allow for the strengthening of the relationship and can improve outcomes for young children. This video shows an example of an intervention using storytelling and gentle, loving touch between the parent and the child.
