A sense of belonging is important no matter what age you are, but for children it can help create an environment where they can thrive. If they feel they belong they will have a safe space to share their thoughts and ideas and will be confident to take risks as they will feel supported even if they experience failure.
The children who attend your groups will form relationships between the children, families, and staff. Together you all play an important role in developing positive relationships, which will help a child feel they belong.
