Description

"For some infants the time of intrauterine growth can be harmful as a result of drugs, alcohol, and other substances in their systems that disrupt feelings of security and protection. Caring persons can create an environment for the newborn infant that restores a sense of connectedness and begins the healing process. By meeting the needs of this special population of infants, caregivers will help with the formation of self-regulation, trusting attachments, self-esteem, and healthy movement patterns. In this tape child development professionals describe and demonstrate a healing environment that includes listening and communicating, touching in a comforting way, changing the environment, creating physical security, and developing healthy movement patterns. Caregivers who create this healing environment become more aware and respectful of individual personalities." -Child Development Media, Inc.
