We often find ourselves sitting at tables with colleagues or other providers who may not realize that a child’s mental health begins to develop in infancy. Science confirms the sooner support can be provided to ensure that young children can thrive, the better for them, their families and all of us. If a baby is attended to with warm, responsive and consistent care, that baby will be a healthier toddler and preschooler who later enters school and adulthood with a better chance at success.
