Parenting

Description

The first years of life are considered the most critical in human’s development. At the same time, they are the years in which the human is weakest. If the child/baby is surrounded by a positive and supportive environment, He or she will be able to grow and prosper. This will largely depend on the ability of families to manage their children’s needs from birth onwards and their level of readiness, especially primary caregivers who provide young children with care and respond to them.
