Social and Emotional Health |
|
According to the Zero to Three learning initiative, "A child's social-emotional development is as important as her brain and physical development. It is her desire to connect with others that motivates her to learn. And her sense of who she is in the world deeply impacts how much and how well she learns, as well as the quality of the relationships she builds with others."

| Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health |
|
| MI-AIMH believes that each infant needs to be nurtured and protected by one or more caregiver, most often the parent, who enjoys a permanent and special relationship with the baby. This sustained, primary relationship provides the essential and necessary context within which every human infant learns basic emotional, cognitive and social attitudes that will influence the course of development. |
