“For a child or an adult, it’s extremely powerful to hear someone say, “I get you. I understand. I see why you feel this way.” This kind of empathy disarms us.” - Dan Siegel #DrDanSiegel #ChallengingBehaviour #DevelopmentalTrauma #Development #Connection #Connectedness #ConnectedChildRaising #Empathy

Kindness
“When your child is having a problem, stop, listen, then respond to the need, not the behaviour. The behaviour can be addressed later, after the need has been met, because only then is the door to effective communication truly open.” - LR Knost #ChallengingBehaviour #Connection #Development #LRKnost
