This article discusses theoretical foundation for International Child Development Programme (ICDP) as a resource based communication and mediation approach. A kind relation between a child and caregiver is a critically vital point for psychological development of children. Better relations also contribute to the child’s healthy growth and intellectual, social and emotional development. Fundamental caregiving skills function as particularly important contribution to the quality and effectiveness all caregiving. A child who is deprived of a competent carer who teaches a child basic necessary skills, that child will suffer from impaired cognitive, social and emotional development. In order to facilitate full development of a child, it is important that the caregiver have a positive conception of the child. In other words, a caregiver should regard a child as a person with potential for development. From this perspective International Child Development Programme (ICDP) function as an effective low-threshold counselling approach which trains caregiver to develop a positive conception of their children and gain wider and deeper insight and confidence about their responsibilities and roles. In order to build more positive and affectionate patterns of caregiver-child interaction, as a counselling approach ICDP proposes eight themes for positive interactions: demonstrate positive feelings; adapt to your child and follow his or her lead; talk to your child about things he or she is interested in and try to initiate a “feeling dialog.”; give praise and recognition for what the child accomplishes; help the child focus his or her her attention so that you have a shared experience of things in the surrounding environment; give meaning to the child’s experience of his or her surroundings by describing them as you share experiences and by showing feelings and enthusiasm; elaborate and explain a shared event; help your child learn self-discipline by setting limits in a positive way – through guidance, demonstrating positive alternatives, and planning together.
