The vision of the Touchpoints approach is that all children grow up to be adults who
can cope with adversity, strengthen their communities,
constructively participate in civic life, steward our planet’s resources
and nurture the next generation to be
prepared to do the same.
What Are Touchpoints?
All of a child's development takes place within
the relationships with those important
individuals who surround them.
A child’s development is enhanced when his or
her relationship with parents is strengthened.
Healthy loving attention to children’s needs
through recognition of who they are as unique
individuals with their own temperament and
style, and through strong relationships,
promotes children’s learning and happiness by
honoring each child’s own pace and way of
developing.
This establishes healthy self-esteem and
empathy for others, as well as motivation to
learn and an expectation to succeed.
The Brazelton Touchpoints CenterTM places
enormous value on Early Care and Education
Professionals as having a unique strength in
promoting healthy relationships between
children and their parents.
In addition to your expertise with children,
this strength is related to the power of the
attachment and relationship that a child
establishes with you as a provider and
your potential as a support to the parents’
efforts.
The essence of this alliance is in joining with
the parents’ passion for their child. It is
through the child and feelings for the child that
change in parents occurs.
Our job is to understand and work with these
forces in supporting and developing competent
parenting.
Development Happens Early Care and
Education Professionals
The Brazelton TouchpointsTM Center was founded in 1996 by T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., and colleagues and is based in the Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Together with families, providers and communities, the Brazelton Touchpoints Center develops and applies knowledge of early childhood development to practice and policy through professional and organizational development, evaluation, advocacy and awareness and serving as a resource for proven practices. The Brazelton Touchpoints CenterTM is also home to the Office of Head Start National Center on Parent, Family and Community Engagement.
Early Childhood Council of Boulder County is the National Touchpoints site for Boulder County.
Participants will:
Understand the theories and concepts of the
Touchpoints approach, with emphasis on the
developmental and relational elements of
parent-child-provider relationships, and their
practical applications;
Enhance their delivery of care to families by
using relationship-building strategies and
communication tools based on the
Touchpoints approach;
Observe and participate in encounters that
demonstrate the Touchpoints approach of
collaborative anticipatory guidance.
The Touchpoints themselves are the
predictable times and events in child
development at which a child’s
behavior seems to fall apart.
