Parent With Nurture, 4 R future
Coaching Parents of Infants to Adulthood
From Greer Kirshenbaum's Book The Nurture Revolution
Elements of Nurture:
Parental sensitivity as defined by attachment researcher Mary Ainsworth: is a caregiver's ability to accurately perceive, interpret and respond appropriately to an infant's signals in a prompt and consistent manner.
Attunement: the baby feels felt, known and accepted.
Co-regulation coordination between parent and child that supports the development of the child's own regulatory systems.
Parent Coaching & Nurture Coaching
"Securely attached children (those that feel seen, safe, and soothed), are better able to regulate their emotions and make good decisions. They are more adept at considering consequences and the perspectives of others and at handling themselves in ways that are constructive and beneficial, rather than harmful and destructive. This of course makes things easier on both child and parent, as well as the relationship between the two." Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. (The Power of Showing Up)
