Early Literacy Tip: Love Helps a Child Grow
"Scientific studies have shown that children develop best when they have a strong, positive relationship with at nurturing adult."
--The Early Literacy Kit by Betsy Diamant and Saroj Ghoting
In Episode 3, the Early Literacy Tip we discussed was about LOVE - how important being loved by a caring adult is to a child's well being and ability to flourish as they grow.
