As a former baby, I approve everything they told in this video.

I was abandoned by my parents at 4, spent my childhood in foster care, discharged at 18. Abused throughout. My brain does not work the same as my peers. Not at all. Now im 34 years old, a father, trying to heal so my 3 year old boy gets a better me. Take care of your children!!!

Edit: Lots of childhood trauma on this thread. I wish I could give you all a hug because I know what you've been through. Thank you all for the love and motivation.

Not me realizing a parent can shape a whole nervous system just by saying a name warmly, putting the phone down, and being calm when the baby bonks their head. That is a lot of responsibility for people running on broken sleep and coffee.

Love your baby, listen to your baby, talk to your baby, all the time. Hold them close, they need you so much.

My son is 7 years old & often talks in his sleep, I've noticed him smiling at times when I respond to his seemingly random sleepy conversations. One time he was sleeping peacefully (wasn't even talking in his sleep) and I got up & gave him a kiss on the cheek (as I randomly do ever so often) & he smiled instantly 😊

My baby first recognized me and smiled at me when he was a little over 2 months old. I was picking him up from my parents’ house after work. He couldn’t stop smiling either. That made my day 100% better. And I hope it made his day better too.

This should be taught in school, instead of the nonsense that is taught, all the stuff that we don’t need to know. Every child is so precious and should be given so much love. This should be a core subject. Thank you for sharing this. ❤

My mom died 14 years ago. I was not with her in her last days. I missed her funeral and burial. Her passing still hurts me. Mind you, in my most silent times, saddest moments, and loneliness, I can still hear my mom's voice calling my name as if she is just right behind me..

My daughter is 3 now, and I realize I have been using the corrective tone with her more and more recently. I loved the statement that we should say their name like it's the most beautiful word ever, and will let that guide me to speaking to that little soul. Thank you!

Our pediatrician would “teach” my mum non to respond every time we cried but she couldn’t bear it. She did the right thing

I'm pregnant for the first time and I'm educating myself so I can raise an emotional healthy kid

My baby had a hard time latching when she was little. At one point she popped off again and she was grumpy because she was hungry, I was grumpy because she was so close to food but wasn't getting it. I wanted to yell and wave my hands around. I silently yelled and waved my hands around. She saw and started laughing because I was moving around in a funny way and making funny faces. Since she was laughing I started laughing.

I made the promise to myself when my baby was about two months old that I’d always greet him every single morning with an excited face and a smile and say “Good morning, baby! I’m so happy you’re awake now!” because I was always stressed when he was first born and tired. I’m a single mom. I’ve kept that promise. Now I’m making another one because I’ve been stressed again and sometimes I’ll yell when he purposely doesn’t listen to me or disobeys. He’s 4. I always feel absolutely horrible after I yell and i hug him and apologize, but that’s not enough. It has to stop completely. I don’t want my baby to be afraid of me. Just typing this is literally hurting my heart and makes me cry to think of his little face. 😢😢😢😢😢 this video really put things into perspective for me so much more. Thanks for posting this! ❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

So many more reasons you need to be emotionally healthy and regulated to have children

@biancadistefano7612 5 months ago

I think the toughest one here is remaining calm during stressful moments. I have no issue cuddling and connecting with my children, but my parents were extremely stressful and emotional throughout my childhood. I'm trying to break the cycle!

When I had my first child, my mother gave me a book by Dr. Spock. It said to let babies cry it out & not to pick them up or it teaches them to cry. I tried it, but she wouldn't have it & I threw the book away LOL! Figured he never had to take care of an infant but let his wife do it.

The importance and profundity of that hypnogogic state is so deep that it’s no wonder that many people go back to that mindset just before death. That feeling of being held by warm loving arms as they slide into the darkness, not alone but comforted. Many people seek their mothers or even see them waiting nearby. Just like returning to infancy, we wanna feel like it’s ok to close our eyes and that everything will be ok

Some of my friends have tried to convince me about sleep training but I refused to believe it even seeing the research that 10 years later these children were unaffected. There is something so primal to feeling safe while falling asleep. I'm certain that having your parents next to you in the bed, warm and ready to care for you should you need it gives an unmatched sense of safety.
