San José, Costa Rica. December, 2015.

Good interpersonal relations with parents and caregivers generate for the baby a safe emotional and social development, since feeling loved and respected allows him to be able to learn about the world around him.

According to Gabriela Esquivel, psychologist of the Clínica Bíblica Hospital, “parents are the first socializing entity of children. If this relationship is not presented adequately, the child will be unable to learn the optimum social rules. Babies with the best cognitive or intellectual development are those babies with the best emotional and social development.”

The family can become involved from the beginning. It is necessary to keep a similar communication line with the child to prevent conflicts, so that it is recommended to talk with the family and reach an agreement on a strategic plan.

A very effective way of promoting interpersonal relations with the child through games, such as “where is the baby”, making faces, reading stories, singing songs and sitting on the floor to play with him, makes the baby feel safe in his environment.
