NURTURING THE LITTLE ONES IN YOUR LIFE
“Children are the blank slate” It is universally acknowledged that the first five years of life, are probably the most crucial in an individual’s development. There is no other time in human life when so much is learned in so brief a period. In our shortterm concern for preparing the child adequately for formal academics, we sometimes tend to neglect the true nurturing of their minds. Nurturing care not only promotes physical, emotional, social and cognitive development, it also protects effects of adversity. It produces lifelong and inter-generational benefits for health productivity and social cohesion. Nurture allows children to connect with others, to build important relationships, and to develop a sense of self-worth
