REDUCE YOUR ANXIETY AND GET SOME PRACTICAL SKILLS ON NAVIGATING EARLY PARENTHOOD AS THE BEST PARENT YOU CAN BE
People are unprepared for the realities of parenting and it is hard at times. Responsive parenting is what it says on the tag – being responsive to your child. The parent observes their child signalling a need, the parent interprets the cue, and the child gets a prompt response to meet their need. Over time the child can predict they will receive a positive safe response. This shows their needs are important and that they are recognised as a unique individual. It also helps the caregiver to see the child as a tiny person that they are building a two-way relationship with and that both perspectives in the relationship are important. Remember babies have no agenda, they are having a hard time, not giving you a hard time.
