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.
ADVICE

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.
