A Healthy Start in Life

A baby's smile... A mother's warm embrace... A father's protective hug... These seem the most natural relationships in the world. Yet for some parents and their young children, the pleasure of being together does not come easily. Emotional problems, stresses inside and outside the family, or delays in a child's physical, intellectual or social development can make it difficult for children to lead happy and healthy lives. New scientific research -- and the Lourie Center's clinical experience -- reveals that early intervention to treat these children and their families can give them a healthy start in life.
