Now available in the ZERO TO THREE Bookstore

Created by the Simms/Mann Institute, CuddleBright Experience™ integrates years of child development theory, clinical practice, and the latest neuroscience research to help parents gain knowledge and confidence while creating a loving connection with their child—healthy bonds build healthy brains. CuddleBright offers a way to connect, comfort, and calm both parent and child during times of separation and transition.
Product Features
Emphasizing the emotional experience of infants and toddlers, CuddleBright includes four components that work together:
