Children learn about themselves and their world through relationships with parents, family members, and caregivers. When children feel loved, safe and secure, and when parents or caregivers receive proper support and tools to handle stress, children are more likely to respond to different emotions in healthy ways and form strong connections as they grow.

Babies begin to learn language from the very beginning. They pay close attention to your sounds and expressions as you interact with them. You can speed up their language development by talking, singing, and pointing, improving their early learning and engagement with the world around them.

Even infants can understand simple maths concepts, such as recognizing patterns and quantities. Toddlers enjoy learning maths concepts like comparing shapes and sizes, which help them understand the world around them. You can support their confidence and understanding by relating their interests to maths concepts such as small, smaller, big, bigger, more, and less (to name a few).

Play is an essential aspect of your child's learning and development. It helps them build their confidence, feel loved, happy, and safe, understand how the world works, develop social skills, language, and communication, learn about caring for others and the environment, and develop physical skills.

Reading aloud helps babies turn into confident thinkers. Research has shown that the amount of time spent reading and how you read and talk with your child can predict a child's later thinking and language development. Reading aloud to them from birth, while pointing to the pictures and discussing the story, is one of the most important things you can do to prepare a child for success in school.
