Are you an organisation that works with parents and carers of babies?
Do you want to empower parents to give their children the best start in life?
Do you want to help parents understand the importance of nurture in the first 1001 days and how they can help their baby reach their potential?
Close-Knit has co-produced a video animation with parents and practitioners to help you do that!
Our short and impactful resource was co-produced with parents and practitioners in Teesside and explains brain development in a way that makes sense to parents!
​
The co-produced video is voiced with local Teesside accents, uses simple accessible language. It is hopeful and non-judgemental, without shying away from the hard stuff.

Parents and carers, do you want to have a close relationship with your child?
Do you want to help your child fulfil their potential?
Do you want to know ways you can help your baby grow and develop?
Babies don’t come with an instruction manual and being a parent can be hard at times so we want to help you!
Our resources are here to help you on your journey as a parent and to help you understand what you can do to help your child grow to reach their potential!

Our poem ‘How can you help me build my brain?’ is reaching
hundreds of vulnerable families in the North East via The Children's Foundation through their Baby Boxes and through our parent packs in Baby Bank projects across Teesside. Our resources are being shared with parents across the UK from Northern Ireland to Devon.
We need your help!
At Close-Knit we are developing resources to help parents of babies.
We want to make sure our resources are helpful for parents and useful for practitioners to share with them.
​
To help us make resources that are as relevant and beneficial as possible we want to hear from parents and practitioners, would you like to be involved?.
