Strong, positive attachments
Loving and responsive caregiving is at the very heart of building strong
connections.
We know from research that a lack of positive,
responsive attention can have a serious impact on the
size of the brain and the strength and quantity of its

When children are given loving and
responsive caregiving by all adults
around them, neural connections
develop rapidly and provide a strong
base on which later connections can
build.
