Loving Relationships With You And Other Adults Are The Foundation For Children’s Mental Health

Loving Relationships With You And Other Adults Are The Foundation For Children’s Mental Health

Just as we all have physical health, we all have mental health, including babies and young children. Similar to how we cultivate children’s physical health through healthy foods, rest, and physical activity, we can also actively support their mental health. 

How? By actively supporting children’s social-emotional development at every stage. 

The downloadable resources on this page can help you support children’s social-emotional development through everyday interactions and relationships.
