I Can Count on You songs promote and celebrate the skills involved in relating to parents, teachers and friends; and the experiences of belonging to a family, a community and the world! Attachment is a mutual strong and long-lasting relationship between a child and a significant adult such as parents, family members, and teachers. When a sense of attachment is secure both children and adults act in ways that enhance and strengthen the relationship.
Securely attached children engage in the following behaviors most of the time:
Act in a way that makes adults smile or show interest
Respond positively to adult comforting when upset
Act happy or excited when a parent returns after being away
Show affection for familiar adults
Ask adults to play or read
- Trust familiar adults and believe what they say
- Seek help from children/adults when necessary
- Show an interest in what children/adults are doing
These songs help children build:
- Loving Relationships
- Security
- Social Skills
- Friendship
- Respect
