The Problem We Solve
We know that young children need a safe environment free from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), adequate health care, good nutrition, and access to learning and stimulation for the best start in life.
However, to maximize brain development and self-regulation that forms the foundation for health, well-being, empathy, impulse control, problem solving, goal attainment and resilience, caregivers must build strong social emotional connections with children while providing composure and co-regulation. Co-regulated children become self-regulated adolescents and adults who are more resilient and better problem solvers.
