Advantages of this course

• You can have a huge impact on how well a child develops in their early years. If you know how to nurture development and form close bonds with a young child, then you will help the child develop important life skills, positive traits, and positive relationships with other adults in the future. This course suggests activities, interactions, and tips for working with insecurely attached children that will help you make a positive impact on their young life.
• There are 8 wonderful videos by Born Smart showing good practice in interacting with children aged 1 month - 36 months. They show either a mother or father interacting with their child, but the interactions can also be tried by early years practitioners.
