Early Relational Health: A Review of Research, Principles, and Perspectives

“Early Relational Health: A Review of Research, Principles, and Perspectives,” by early childhood researchers Dr. Junlei Li and Thelma Ramirez of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, connects the science behind ERH with principles for action for parents, caregivers, practitioners, and policymakers. Based on extensive interviews with researchers, practitioners, and parent leaders, the authors envision the interconnected relational needs, capacities, and support systems among babies, toddlers, parents, caregivers, and the broader community, including the healthcare, early care, and education communities, neighbors, and extended family.
