What’s behind a child’s behaviour? 💭 “Refusing bedtime” may have many explanations, from wanting more time with a caregiver to feeling worried or overtired. Reflective functioning encourages us to stay curious rather than assume we know what a child is thinking or feeling.
Attachment develops through everyday interactions between children and caregivers, while reflective functioning can help caregivers better understand and respond to their child’s needs. Learn more in our latest blog: attachprogram.ca/blog
Reflective parenting tip! When children's behaviour feels challenging, try pausing to think about the feelings behind the behaviour. Curiosity, rather than reaction, supports emotional regulation & strengthens the parent-child relationship. Explore more: attachprogram.ca
