Hoe doe je deze activiteit
Whether bottle or breast feeding, pause briefly to express appreciation. Say things like 'I'm thankful for this quiet time with you' or 'Thank you for letting me care for you.' Use gentle touch and maintain eye contact. Notice the peaceful connection between you. Let your grateful feelings show in your expression and voice throughout the feeding session.
Waarom het werkt
Responsive interactions during routine care build secure attachment and neural pathways. When you express gratitude during these intimate moments, you create an emotionally rich environment. Research demonstrates that gratitude practices enhance psychological wellbeing and positive emotional states (Tian et al., 2016). Though your infant doesn't understand the words, they absorb your emotional tone, which shapes their developing brain's patterns for recognizing and responding to positive emotions.
Tips voor ouders
Feeding times offer natural opportunities for connection. Use them to model appreciation without adding extra steps.
Your calm, grateful presence helps create positive associations with care and connection.
If your mind wanders to your to-do list, gently bring attention back to this moment with your child. It's okay if this takes practice.
