WATCh's Mission Statement:
- WATCh? is committed to raising awareness and understanding of the emotional needs of children under three years old and to supporting parents to meet these needs.
- WATCh? believes that the needs of children are paramount
- The relationship between each child and his/her main carer should be loving, consistent, permanent and stable. Ideally this main relationship should be with the mother.
- Children will have other relationships, which are important to their growth and development, but these should be complementary to and not in competition with the main carer
- To raise awareness of the emotional needs of children especially during the crucial first three years of psychological dependence.
- To encourage society to value the work of mothers.
- To emphasis the importance of the father's role in ensuring security and happiness within the family unit.
- To press for society's acceptance of the need to support families thereby ensuring psycho-social health throughout the entire community.
