THE INSTITUTE OF CHILD PSYCHOLOGY
Who We are . . .

We Believe…

• Children are inherently good
• Secure attachments are the cornerstone of all healthy relationships: a connected child is a happy child
• Connection not separation is the key to affective discipline 
• Play is a child’s language and should be an integral part of their life
• Simplifying your family’s life will strengthen your connection to one another
• Awareness of a parent’s own childhood wounds is a critical step to becoming a mindful parent
• Parents should matter more than peers
• Discipline should take into account the neurological development of the child
• There is a difference between what a child wants and what they need
• You cannot spoil a child with love
• Children need warmth, connection, consistency, and predictability
