Sitting In The Same Room Is Not Enough
May 02, 2021
Dear Parent,
Our children need engagement, though engagement is widely misunderstood. Being in the same room with your children is not engagement. Managing behavior is not engagement.
Engagement involves emotional presence, eye contact, touch, facial expression, reciprocal play, and genuine conversation. If you are managing behavior 24/7, it may seem hard to muster the energy for quality engagement.
The good news is you will get something back immediately from your true engagement efforts. Your own neurochemistry will respond positively to engagement along with your child's. Once again, everyone wins.
Ready, set, play.
Love matters,
Ce
