Working with young children: Nurturing the parent-child relationship through loving & caring touch

Updated: Jun 14, 2021


Relationship-based work is an ideal approach when working with the early childhood population. Providing caregivers fun and nurturing ways to engage with their young children is key to strengthening the attachment relationship and parental attunement. When children feel seen & heard, they thrive. In this video, I share an attachment-based intervention developed by Dr. Janet Courtney, to help parents and young children to connect.
