Attunement is a super important concept in parenting, where your brain's limbic system tunes in and syncs up with the emotional energy of your child.

Of course, we deeply love our children and attunement is how children know they are loved.

Children’s brains develop through relationships with caring, attuned adults. By being present, noticing their emotions, and responding thoughtfully, we help children feel seen and valued, fostering empathy and emotional growth.

Some things to think about when it comes to attunement:

• Tuning into yourself first: Be aware of your own emotions before attuning to your child.

• Being vs. doing: Focus on slowing down and being with your child.

• Mirroring emotions: Validate their feelings without getting stuck in their emotional state.

• Providing a calm presence: Anchor yourself emotionally to help your child regulate their feelings.

In this episode I dive into attunement and share some practical tips to help you slow down and tune in to your child.
