Feel free to lavish cuddles,
hugs, smiles and kisses.
A child who feels loved is
a child who feels secure.

Be watchful and attentive
to children’s babbling and
expressions of joy or sadness.
Answer and fulfill children’s
needs as much as possible.
A child who knows you care
is a child who feels secure.

A cuddled child is a child
who is developing well.

Provide the stimuli children
need: to be cuddled, to be
rocked in your arms, to feel
the warmth of your gaze,
to bask in your smile,
to hear your voice. A child
who recognizes you is a
child who feels secure.

Make it part of your daily
routine to engage in a
regular activity with a child:
going for a walk together
or sharing a bedtime story.
A child who knows what
to expect is a child who
feels secure.

The first three years of life are crucial
to a child's development. Cuddled children.
You can make al the difference.
