***Food for thought. Recent research which was published in March 2014 in Science Daily is something we need to really reflect on as parents.***
"Children who regularly sing, play, story-tell and eat dinner with their families tend to have higher social-emotional health, new research shows. Researchers believe that being cared for in stimulating and nurturing environments in early life, with regular participation in predictable family routines, reflects greater family organization and can provide a sense of security and belonging. It also may positively impact children's SEH before school entry and contribute to their future school and life success."
This helps support the work of PAT as we encourage parents to practice consistent routines with plenty of face to face contact and social interaction. Consistent bedtimes and mealtimes with family play a huge part in this! Routines help children feel secure and see their world as a predictable, safe place.
