Good relationships early in life help children to connect with others, build positive friendships and support children to self-regulate their emotions. Trust is a key component of relationships. Building trust with young children requires collaborative action between teachers and caregivers.

The all-time favourite mystery game, the Feely Bag (or box) is a great tool for exploring the sense of touch and also perception, prediction, and analysis skills. This game also encourages trust. Children will have to ‘risk’ putting their hand into a bag to touch and feel unknown items building a sense of trust and security, and as a result, fostering a safe learning community.
