Using the end of the night to help a child unwind, make sense of the day, and prepare for what’s to come tomorrow can be a valuable tool for shifting their brain and body into a state of rest. Joining me to talk about how parents can use the last 20 minutes of the day to promote social and emotional learning is the author of the children’s book series, Conscious Stories, Andrew Newman.
Kim John Payne and I discuss ways parents can become a safe and secure base for their child of any age, review Kim’s 3 T’s (time, team and tone) and how they can serve as your guide in your parent-child interactions, and offer mindset shifts you can make to feel more capable, confident and effective in helping your child (and yourself!) get through emotional moments.
