Five to Thrive for Childminders

The 5 building blocks for a healthy brain are drawn from research into the key processes of attachment and attunement which forge bonds between young children and their carers. The 5 building blocks are designed to support positive feedback processes; enabling practitioners to observe and reinforce positive interaction between parents and their children. This introduction to the Five to Thrive approach will look at building a healthy brain, attachment needs, and explore how best to use the approach in practice.
