Welcome to Our Website.
What About The Children? was established as a national charity in 1994 to raise awareness about the emotional needs of children under 3.
We provide information from research for parents, professionals and policy makers, about the critical importance of secure primary attachment for healthy emotional development.
We do this through our website, our national conferences, and lectures, our publication, What About The Children? NEWS, and our Research Summaries on recent relevant research.
Whether you are an expectant or new parent, a professional working with parents or young children, or somebody involved with policy development, What About The Children? will be of interest.
