Episode notes
Importance of Connection
- Children develop their sense of self based on how their caregivers perceive them.
- If the caregiver's perception is distorted by projections, the child's authentic self can be suppressed.
Practicing Attunement
- Use the WARM acronym (Witness, Allow, Respect, Mirror) to practice attunement with your child.
- Replace projections with attunement, focusing on your child's cues and feelings rather than your own.
Responding to Mishaps
- Instead of reacting with anger when a child breaks a vase, take accountability for leaving it within reach.
- Involve the child in the cleanup process and set boundaries without shaming.
