Balance Warmth and Structure + Practice Rupture and Repair
In our final exploration of the book Raising Securely Attached Kids, Amanda, Michelle, and Jon talk about the need to balance warmth and structure in the home to build a trusting environment. An excerpt, from Amanda: "When I think about what this could look like in a home like in the morning there could be a visual checklist of, "This is the routine. This is what we do in the morning: We wake up, we have breakfast, we brush our teeth, we put on our shoes, we pack our school bag." So there's something visual that gives structure, but there's also some, ritual of connection. ... So you could have a way where you're attending to the different parts of the day and like, how much structure do we have and how much warmth is also built into that structure."See our new Rupture and Repair printable for members: https://upliftkids.org/social-and-emotional-skills-printables-for-kids/
