When your child becomes upset or distressed, pick them up and hold them close. Use a soft, steady voice to say simple, soothing words like "You're okay" or "I'm here." Let your calm energy and gentle touch communicate safety. Stay present with them through the emotion rather than rushing to distract or fix it immediately.

Por qué funciona
Empathy emerges from being understood empathetically. When you show compassion for your child's distress and respond with consistent care, you create a safe space for emotional expression. Research demonstrates that when parents show empathy, children feel less isolated and anxious while developing a sense of belonging and emotional security (Bhansali, 2023).
Consejos para padres
Your goal is not to stop the crying instantly. It is to show your child that their feelings are safe with you.
Take slow, deep breaths yourself. Your child can sense your emotional state and will often mirror your calmness.
