The positive impact of Brazelton Touchpoints on caregivers, home visitors, families, and young children is far-reaching. This strengths-based approaches focuses on a child’s strengths to best support their development. Common themes that guided the work of the authors include:

• Build strong, healthy relationships.The field of early childhood education makes clear the importance of relationship-based care. But applying its practice isn’t as easy. A key method in this effort is to focus on a strengths-based model instead of focusing on deficits. Instead of seeing the glass half-empty, notice what is working well and expand on it (as opposed to pointing out what isn’t working and trying to fix it). This approach applies to all: children, families, co-workers, and coaches. For example, when a coaching conversation begins with identifying what is working well, it helps bolsters the relationship. This lets the coach and caregiver clarify their understanding (including what might not be working) to help identify what to do next.
• Observe and understand children’s behavior.To do this well, pay attention to children in a way that allows you to be present. Notice patterns. Observe what children are telling you through their behavior. Partner with families to deepen your understanding and better support a child’s development. For example, if a child begins having toilet training accidents after recent strides in toilet training were made, talk to the parents. Together, you can find a way to best fit the present state of the child’s needs. When you discuss the meaning of children’s behavior with co-workers, you may identify your own blind-spots, and gain another perspective.
• Respect children’s relationships with their families.Acknowledge that families are a child’s first teacher. Work to strengthen your bond with parents, and understand that the relationship you have with a child’s family is related to that child’s outcome. Strong partnerships with parents encourage children’s healthy outcomes, including school readiness.
• Recognize families’ strengths and expertise.当您承认家庭有优势 - 除了作为他们孩子的专家 - 您还在支持与父母的力量伙伴关系。有时这意味着您将想要转换您的解释，以查找行为的替代解释。例如，护理人员可以首先假设一个携带他完全能够走向3岁的父亲进入该计划的父亲是不对的。然而，护理人员可能后来发现父亲试图通过在说再见之前通过提供舒适和亲密来抚慰孩子。当我们允许我们与父母的专家的角色转向正宗的合作伙伴时，我们打开了帮助孩子最佳地发展的门。
• Respect each child and family’s unique culture.Culturally-competent caregivers appreciate—and celebrate—the richness of home life. Caregivers are open to learn more about each family, including aspects of caregiving that are obvious or implied elements of a family’s culture.
• Use reflective practice.确保您认为如何以及您的练习的原因和原因。这有助于您使用您了解孩子的信息，并在与他们的日常互动期间将其放在良好的使用中。你可以考虑你所做的事情，别人如何回应（儿童，父母，同事）以及你对这一天的感受。当您开始使用您使用反光练习获得的反馈循环时，可以在调整方法或监控改进时实现目标。
• 考虑儿童之家的经历。Remember to consider the whole child as you interact with them. Think about aspects of their life, such as family job changes, family moves, and family health issues.
• Partner with other professionals.To broaden your knowledge and network, remember to seek out collaborations that strengthen you and your vital and important practice. Research shows that the quality of collaborative relationships has a ripple effect and can influence even stakeholders not directly in a network.
