Comment GIFT and I’ll send you my free guide, The Regulated Home
Description: Comment GIFT and I’ll send you my free guide, The Regulated Home.
Babies can’t calm themselves yet. They borrow your nervous system.
So when your shoulders are up, your jaw is tight and your breath is short, they feel it before you say a word. We try to fix them with shushing, bouncing and rocking harder, but a braced body can’t settle a baby.
So I start with me. I slow my breath, soften my shoulders and move gently. Within minutes my son’s body follows mine. That’s co-regulation: calm passed from one body to another.
The greatest gift you can give your child is a regulated nervous system, and it starts with yours.
The kingdom is within you.
