In this video, I share what the science tells us about what we should do when our kids are going through something really difficult. That in times of good, but especially in times of bad, what your kids need most from you in order to be resilient and in order to weather difficulty, is you.
Imperfect you.
Flawed you.
Sometimes falling apart you.
We have so much power by just being in relationship with our kids and this is what Dr. Dan Siegel and I call "showing up". By offering our parental presence and helping our kids feel safe, seen, and soothed, we develop this thing called secure attachment--which is one of the best predictors for how well they turn out. Watch the video to hear more and I hope it helps.
