We ask caregivers who come to Babies Project with toddlers to follow these guidelines.
- Transitions can be challenging for toddlers (of all ages).
- We encourage you to respect their timing about entering the room, choosing to play, and choosing to return to you for orientation, comfort, or cuddles.
- We encourage you to appreciate that toddlers are fully and intensely immersed in becoming themselves.
- We believe that allowing each child to tell their own story and make their own meaning supports their sense of agency.
- We encourage you to comment on your child’s (and other children’s) actions in non-deterministic, non-judgmental ways,
