Tonight’s PSA:
Please remember to talk about ‘babies, children and young people’ because babies get overlooked A LOT even though they are more vulnerable. When people hear ‘CYP’ they often don’t think infants are included so we need to make extra effort to include them.

Raising and caring for babies and #children of all ages

THE most vital thing to be certain of is…they regularly have to have emotional and physical connection with us

Unfortunately it’s often seen as them being attention seeking / demanding

Let’s change this unhelpful belief

[Jane Evans @janeparenting2]

STOP seeing your child as angry

See them as overwhelmed and needing your compassionate connection - the how and the why! https://t.co/RF9X96VO00

The greatest damage done by neglect, trauma or emotional loss is not the immediate pain they inflict but the long-term distortions they induce in the way a developing child will continue to interpret the world & her situation in it.—Dr. Gabor Mate
