10 Simple Things Every Child Needs
Interaction
Spend time watching me and responding to my cues. It tells me I am important and special to you!
Loving Touch
Cradle me, hold me, and give me lots of hugs! It keeps me calm and comforts me, and gives me the courage to move on.
Stable Relationships
I need someone special to be there when I call. When I look around and see you I know I can go far.
Safe, Healthy Environment
Plug the outlets, and block the stairs. Use a car seat.
Self Esteem
I can do it, yes I can, if you tell me so.. Pay attention, give me praise and watch me go, go, go.
Quality Child Care
When you are gone I need to be with people you can trust to help me grow and teach me new exciting stuff.
Communication
Our little conversations mean a lot, even when I don't talk much.
Play
Play is fun, play is work. It is how I learn the ropes. When we play together you help me grow and teach me new exciting stuff
Music
1, 2, 3, sign to me and make up silly tunes. Music is a special time that's fun to share.
Reading
Read to me, show me books, write my stories out in words.
