Research

Research shows that a young child’s language, social and literacy development depends on positive, supportive parent-child interactions. In fact, ordinary, everyday routines like meal time, play time and bath time give parents the best opportunities to promote their child’s early learning and development. You Make the Difference^® is designed to give parents the tools they need to make a difference in their child’s early years.
