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

neural connections (see diagram on right).

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.
