Comfort and soothe routine

Comment faire cette activité

When your child cries or seems distressed, respond promptly with physical comfort. Try holding, rocking, or gentle patting to help them calm. Notice which soothing methods work best for your child. Stay calm and patient as they learn to regulate with your help.

Pourquoi ça marche

Responding consistently to distress teaches your child that you are reliable and that their emotions matter. This responsive caregiving is the foundation of secure attachment. Children who receive prompt, sensitive comfort during distress develop better emotional regulation and maintain stronger relationships with parents into adulthood (Ainsworth et al., 1978).

Conseils pour les parents

Different children find different soothing methods helpful. What works one day may not work the next. You cannot spoil a young child by responding to their cries. Consistent comfort builds security.
