What makes a safe and secure family that supports happy and healthy children? Research shows that there are 5 factors that matter: 1) Parents' ability to provide basic needs 2) Understanding what children can and can't do at different levels of development 3) A supportive network of family and/or friends 4) The ability to go through hard things together and 5) An environment where children can express and learn to manage emotions. #CAPMonth #JoiningForces #parenting #childabuseprevention #protectivefactors
