A Guide For Early Childhood Practitioners This guide is for home visitors to use in teaching parents and other caregivers to value and support a child's development. When the parent-child relationship is positive, infants and toddlers develop a sense of security, explore with confidence, and learn to communicate their needs. These three outcomes are the foundations of social-emotional, cognitive, and language development. The book's approach supports a parenting focused model for home visiting, which sends an implicit message of respect for the role of the parent as someone who can provide good developmental experiences for the child, even in difficult times.
