Stay present in the moment with your child from "summary" of Beautiful Babies by Kristen Michaelis
Being present in the moment with your child is crucial for building a strong bond and fostering a sense of security and connection. When you are fully engaged with your child, you are sending them the message that they are important and valued. This can have a profound impact on their emotional well-being and overall development. One way to stay present with your child is to eliminate distractions and focus solely on them. Put away your phone, turn off the TV, and create a quiet, uninterrupted space where you can give your child your undivided attention. This will not only show your child that you are fully present with them, but it will also allow you to fully experience and enjoy the moment with them. Another important aspect of staying present with your child is to actively listen to them. This means truly hearing what they have to say, without judgment or interruption. By listening attentively to your child, you are validating their thoughts and feelings, and showing them that their voice matters. This can help strengthen your relationship with your child and build trust and open communication. In addition to being physically present with your child, it is also important to be emotionally present. This means tuning into your child's emotions and responding with empathy and understanding. When your child is upset or struggling, being present with them emotionally can provide them with the comfort and support they need to navigate their feelings and move through difficult situations.- Staying present in the moment with your child is about showing them that they are loved, valued, and understood. By being fully engaged with your child, you are creating a secure and nurturing environment where they can thrive and grow. So put aside distractions, listen attentively, and be emotionally available for your child – the rewards of being present in their lives are immeasurable.
