My Grown-Up Cares 

When you listen to your child, share joyful moments, and offer comfort, support, and love, you’re helping them build a foundation of emotional well-being. The most important thing you can do for your child is to be a steady, loving presence in their lives!  

Together, read this storybook and use the grown-up “pop-up” prompts on each screen as special moments to connect.  

Just for You! 

Try these ideas any time: 

• Together, name some other caring grown-ups your child feels safe with. 
• Share one thing you love about your child every day.  
• Slow down and savor the everyday joyful moments you have together.  
• Have fun together by playing games or acting out stories. 
• Follow children’s natural curiosity (“You’re looking closely at this leaf. What do you notice? I wonder what it feels like if we touch these vein lines.”).
• Continue your loving bedtime routines. Share stories, books, memories from your day — and, of course, cuddles.
