Social Bonding

social bonding

Children grow through relationships. Warm, responsive time with caregivers, friends, siblings, grandparents and neighbours helps them feel safe, valued and connected.

Interacting with people of different ages, genders and backgrounds also introduces children to different perspectives and ways of living. Through these everyday relationships, they learn to listen, share, negotiate, care and understand themselves in relation to others.

why it matters

Responsive, back-and-forth exchanges help strengthen the neural connections involved in communication and social development. Warm relationships also give children the security from which they can explore the world.

Research connects sensitive caregiving with attachment, language, cognitive development and socio-emotional wellbeing. Research source: Harvard Center on the Developing Child and the WHO evidence review
