Children facing adversity often need more than academics to thrive — they need strong, nurturing relationships.

These results suggest that focusing on relationships in early childhood education isn’t just beneficial — it may be essential. This article offers practical insights for early educators and a compelling case for integrating relationship-centered interventions in early care settings.
