Stay attuned to your baby's needs and desires from "summary" of Your Self-Confident Baby by Magda Gerber,Allison Johnson
To truly connect with your baby, it is essential to pay close attention to their needs and desires. By staying attuned to your baby's cues and signals, you can better understand what they are trying to communicate to you. This means being present in the moment, and being open and receptive to what your baby is telling you through their actions and expressions. Babies are incredibly perceptive and have their own unique ways of expressing themselves. By observing your baby closely, you can start to recognize patterns in their behavior and understand what they are trying to tell you. This requires patience and attentiveness, as well as a willingness to put aside your own preconceived notions and expectations. When you are attuned to your baby's needs and desires, you can respond to them in a way that is sensitive and respectful. This means acknowledging and validating your baby's feelings, even if they are unable to articulate them in words. By being attuned to your baby, you are showing them that their feelings are important and valid, and that they can trust you to respond to them with care and understanding. Staying attuned to your baby's needs and desires also means being willing to adapt and adjust your own behavior in response to their cues. This may require you to be flexible and open-minded, and to be willing to try different approaches until you find what works best for your baby. By being responsive and attuned to your baby, you can nurture a strong bond of trust and connection that will support their emotional development and well-being.
