In the past year, Barnardo’s Northern Ireland (NI) has published a research report exploring parenting 0-3s in a digital context.
‘Connections: Parenting Infants in a Digital World’ provides insight into how digital technology may influence interactions between parents and infants at home. 
The message from Barnardo’s NI focuses on supporting parents to understand the need for positive and consistent interactions to help develop their child’s emotional wellbeing and attachment.
The full report is available online.
The Executive Summary is also available to download.
The Information for Parents booklet, ‘Promoting Good Infant Mental Health is available from the Barnardo's website.
