ALLIANCE FOR TRANSFORMING
THE LIVES OF CHILDREN Family Support Network WarmLine Phone Mentoring The aTLC WarmLine's phone mentors offer consistent, ongoing, and evidence-based guidance, support, and inspiration to enhance effective and conscious parenting. The aim of the WarmLine is to make the concepts, principles, and actions assembled in the Blueprint of Transforming the Lives of Children readily available to parents and caregivers. The Blueprint articulates evidence-based findings about fostering optimal human development, which are summarized in part by the following premises. |
|
||
|
Premises: · A healthy parent/child bond, from preconception onward, is the ideal for effective parenting and a child’s optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual development. · Parents are always doing the best they can, at any given moment, with the information, resources, and support they have. · Children are always doing the best they can—their challenging behaviors are a way of communicating their need for adult attention, connection, and support.
· Children
never outgrow their need for a strong connection with their parents, and it
is never too late for parents to strengthen their connection with their
children.
