Thank you very much. I appreciate the opportunity to share from our experience.
We are a family resource network. I believe we are engaging parents at a very early stage in their parenting to encourage that early attentive caregiving and emotional attachment piece. Dads need to be just as much a part of the nurturing that happens in the home so that they have the capacity to model those behaviours early on for their children.
We know from that core brain story, you can't undue the impacts of trauma. One thing you can do is to create opportunity for resilience by attaching those young little minds to as many healthy adults as possible who are not in a parenting role, outside of the home. Whether that's extended family, friends, community groups, support groups through school, or early education, from our experience, it's making sure that dads are a part of that plan moving forward, and giving them opportunities to step up and play that nurturing role in the lives of the little ones.
