What is positive attention?
Positive attention is the way you show delight in your child and warmth in your relationship through:
- smiling at your child
- making eye contact and using caring facial expressions
- showing physical affection – for example, hugging your child
- using words to celebrate and encourage your child
- showing interest in your child’s interests, activities and achievements.
