PFR recognizes the critical role of early, positive interactions in shaping children's emotional organization, attention regulation, and communication skills. By focusing on the pivotal relationships with their first caregivers, children establish the groundwork for growth across social, emotional, behavioral, language, and cognitive domains.

Through encouraging, collaborative reflection on caregiver-child interactions, PFR providers empower caregivers to cultivate sensitive, secure relationships with their children. By promoting caregivers' confidence and competence, PFR aims to create environments where children feel safe to explore, learn, and develop trusting, caring relationships with others.
