00:00So my passion and the work of the Centre for Early Childhood stems from one essential truth,

00:07that the love we feel in our earliest years fundamentally shapes who we become and how we thrive as adults.

00:15Love is the first and most essential bond, but it's also the invisible threat,

00:21woven with time, attention and tenderness, through consistent nurturing relationships

00:27which creates the grounded and meaningful environments around a child.

00:32It is this texture, the weave of love, which forms a child's emotional world

00:37and becomes the foundation, the very fabric of resilience and belonging.

00:43The home should be the space where love, safety and rhythm enable a child to thrive.

00:50A loving home ultimately teaches us how to love and how to care.

00:55But every environment has a potential to shape our homes.
