Years of attachment and neuroscience research has provided clear insights into the circumstances that must be present in a child’s life for the healthy development of social, emotional, language and communication skills.
Neuroscience places affect regulation and attuned adult / child interactions at the centre of healthy social and emotional development. This means the best way for children to develop their social and emotional skills is through purposeful and consistent interactions with the adults around them.
