From the moment of conception we māmā share a unique connection with our rangatahi, a connection that makes our relationship one of a kind.

That connection is our umbilical connection, a physical cord that nourishes our pēpi’s (baby’s) growth at the beginning of their lives. This connection is the beginning of a bond that will last for the entire lifespan of our time together. It is nourishing, essential and brings our pēpi the sustenance they need.

For our pāpā, this connection begins at the moment your voice registers as a person of significance in their world. Rangahau, research, substantiates the claim that this can be prior to our pēpi arriving in the world.

As our pēpi grow we nourish them in many ways. Ways that change and match their growth.

As they move through their development our connection changes. As they become older language becomes our primary form of connection.

Which is why working on getting our communication aligned is so important. If you’re reading this far I know the language of love is an important part of your connection.

Lean in, reflect, notice what works and what doesn’t. Your rangatahi is unique. You are unique. Your connection is unique.

Keep leaning in, keep learning, keep connecting.

Your connection counts more than you may ever realise.
