This book combines cutting-edge research in science, philosophy, epigenetics and inherited trauma with Dr Maxine Therese’s extensive clinical experience.
 
It presents the child as a whole being—body, mind, and spirit—through the Foundational Needs Model, revealing the intricate connections between emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual, and physical dimensions. Readers are invited on a thought-provoking journey that challenges conventional perspectives on childhood.
 
At the same time, it encourages adults to reflect on their own unmet needs and understand how these shape their relationships with children today. By fostering deep connection from the earliest stages of life, this approach lays a powerful foundation for lifelong wellbeing and helps create a brighter, more resilient future for the next generation.
