The first relationships that a child establishes with parents or guardians constitute the cornerstone of his neuropsychological development. Emotional care and sustained attention create a safe environment that fosters emotional regulation skills and a sense of psychological security. This supportive environment fosters the child’s ability to explore the world around them and builds self-confidence, which is a prerequisite for learning and social interaction. Physical contact – touching and hugging – and emotional responses – smiling and verbal displays – activate neural networks responsible for attention, learning, and emotional regulation.
