The "Still Face" experiments: What every parent needs to know
For almost half a decade, researchers have been studying interactions between infants and young children and their parents. They look at how they connect, disconnect and reconnect. Believe it or not, good enough parents are only attuned to their child about 30% of the time! The rest is a series of disconnecting and reconnecting. Dr. Ed Tronick is the pioneer in this field and he refers to three states: The Good (connected), The Bad (disconnected but repaired) and The Ugly (disconnected without a repair). I offer strategies and told you can use in real time to help you avoid "The Ugly" in your parenting. #parentingtips #connectedparenting #connection #parentingjourney #childmentalhealth
