Parenting Counts is a program comprised of both a research based curriculum as well as a family of products for use by parents and children ages birth to five created and disseminated by Talaris Institute. Focused on bonding, brain development and social-emotional development, this program helps parents understand the importance of parenting in the early years. By learning how children think, feel and learn, parents are more capable of helping their children grow in healthy ways. Research tells us that the bond between a parent and child is created in the first five years. This parental bond is the foundation for all learning and the foundation for all relationships developed later in the child's life. That's why Parenting Counts!
