Booklet, 2025
The Hand You Hold Is the Legacy You Leave highlights an important message – the first years of life lay the foundation for lifelong health, relationships, and learning. For babies to thrive, they need the following from consistent caregivers: love, safety and security, and acceptance. The Hand You Hold is built around these needs, while also emphasizing the vital role of parent support. This resource offers practical actions for parents to meet each of these needs, paired with research insights that explain why these actions matter.
This booklet is strengths-based, parent-friendly, and adaptable across many settings. For example, it can be shared with parents and caregivers during home visits, in parenting or prenatal groups, and as discussion prompts in community settings. It is meant to spark meaningful conversations by inviting parents to reflect on “What is my baby telling me?”
