The Transformative Power of Relationships in Supporting Children, Families, and Early Childhood Professionals
The ZERO TO THREE Journal
Volume 42 No 4
“How you are is as important as what you do” is a guiding principle at ZERO TO THREE, and the legacy of Jeree Pawl, Past President of the Board, and renowned leader in the field of infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH). This issue of the Journal shines a spotlight on the quality of relationships as the vehicle through which this guiding principle is put into action. Notably, it is not just one’s actions that determine relationship quality, but also “ways of being” —such as the beliefs and attitudes one holds, the ability to cultivate empathy and curiosity, and to observe with careful attention. The articles in this issue explore what it takes to consistently and effectively put relationships—and ways of being—at the center of individual practice, organizations, collaborations, and early childhood systems and policies.
