Decades of research on human development conclude that our kids learn how to self-soothe only after having plenty of experience with the supportive engagement of a caring adult. They can’t calm down unless we show them how it’s done.
When you learn to become a co-regulator for your child, you get to be the loving parent you aspire to be and have a child who feels better. It’s a win-win!
