Child Care: How to Raise Emotionally Healthy Children

Meeting the emotional needs of children is one of the most important gifts we can give our children, yet it is one of the most under recognized problems facing families today. At Crème, we believe it is important for teachers to understand the importance of meeting the five critical needs of children, but we also wanted to help parents recognize and satisfy the critical emotional needs as well. For this reason, Jody Martin, Vice President of Education and Training for Crème de la Crème have been providing parenting seminars outlining these five critical needs. She has been presenting in various Creme markets this last fall and will continue to do so in early 2011.

The e seminar provides powerful and practical concepts and tools to enable parents to interact with children and with each other in emotionally healthy ways. Ultimately, when children see this role modeled by their parents and caregivers, they will tend to interact with each other in the same ways. This is so very important because emotional health provides a foundation for success in school, work, marriage, and life in general!

At Crème, we understand that children and adults need to feel respected, important, accepted, included, and secure. As children experience what it’s like to have these five critical emotional needs met, they are more likely to become self-confident, independent, responsible, caring, civic-minded individuals.

We believe that parents and teachers should work individually and together to meet the emotional needs of children at home and at school. Consequently, we have specific c curriculum that supports social emotional learning and is an integral part of our philosophy. In addition, through these parenting seminars, we offer information from Dr. Newmark’s book to share with parents.
