Description
The quality of a child's development is closely tied to the presence of at least one consistent adult in their life. In today's busy world, this may seem like a challenging expectation to meet. However, Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson explain that showing up - offering a quality of presence - is a simple yet powerful way to support a child's growth and well-being.
According to the authors, showing up involves providing a sense of safety, truly seeing a child, soothing them when needed, and establishing a secure attachment. By understanding and applying these four building blocks, parents can help their children develop into happy, successful, and well-adjusted individuals.
