Touchpoints

The Brazelton Touchpoints Approach is a practical approach for building parenting skills and strong family relationships. Using the Touchpoints system, childcare workers can help parents better understand their children’s development by educating them about predictable behaviors that might otherwise be bewildering or even troublesome.

Learn more about Touchpoints: www.touchpoints.org

Five individuals who have been trained at the Brazelton Touchpoints Center in Boston are currently hard at work training more than 300 people in Onondaga County who work with children and their families on the Touchpoints Approach. Please contact one of the organizations listed below to get in touch with a trainer or to receive more information on local Touchpoints training sessions.

“We hope that we are moving way beyond an 'either-or' debate about child care.  The question is not whether children should be in child care, the issue is about how infants, children, and families can best be supported and how each family can have the best available information and options to pursue what is best for them.  The challenge is to support  families and child care providers so that the quality of care   improves in all settings where infants and children are cared for, and that quality is reflected by nurture of parents as well as their children.”
