Being Your Child ’ s Safe Place
Dr . Deborah MacNamara , Director of Kids ’ Best Bet and author of Rest , Play , Grow , says , “ The greatest gift we have to offer our child is an invitation to rest in our care . This isn ’ t the type of rest that comes from sleeping , but from an enduring invitation for contact and closeness , a sense of significance and mattering as well as a sense of belonging and being known by the people a child is most attached to . To be a safe space for them .”
