Share the joy of relationships with toddlers. Young children are far more socially capable than we often assume. In Eager for Relationships, Deb Curtis invites readers to see toddlers as caring, observant people with an innate drive to connect, cooperate, and belong. Drawing on stories from real early childhood settings and current research on early social development, this book challenges the idea that children need to be “taught” how to relate. Instead, it shows how empathy, fairness, and collaboration are already emerging and reveals how adults can nurture those strengths with intention and care. Warm, practical, and inspiring, Eager for Relationships offers educators examples, strategies, and reflection questions for recognizing children’s natural gifts for relationship-building and for supporting those gifts in everyday practice.
