Week 2: One to One Time 8 Week Course
Special One to One Time
Last week we began to look at building the parent/child relationship by looking at how a child’s brain is wired to respond to your time and attention rather than to your words and what you say.
This week we’ll be looking at the kind of time and attention children need and respond to by looking at One to One time.
