“In order to thrive and learn, an infant must establish an intimate,
responsive and trusting relationship with at least one other person. Infants
are able to develop close attachments with several other people but not with
many people. To develop a sense of their own identity and the strong sense
of self-worth necessary for them to become confident in relationships as learners,
infants must experience physical and emotional security with at least one other
person within each setting.” Te Whaariki
