As Americans are celebrating Mother’s Day, I just want to share that “Mothers” are also heavily stereotyped to be better, to both work outside and inside the home, care for the children, schooling from home during COVID-19, etc. Enjoy and celebrate your motherhood or mother’s in your live and be aware of “the expectations” that can become “pressure” and “barriers” to happiness just the way you are in each moment.

#4 Goo-Goo Ka-Kaa: Back & Forth Conversation

Babies language and relationship development start before the could speak! When babies coo I.e. Goo-goo ka-ka or baa baa ba, you Goo-goo ka-ka or baa baa ba back! This serve and return, back and forth interactions let your babies know that they are important, that you listen to what they have to coo, and that is the foundation for positive relationship with you and their future.

Relationship = Attachment

#3 Describe the Now:

Example: Hmm... you are seeing a new toy! Auntie May brought it to you. You are picking it up, chewing it. How does it feel in your mouth? Oh! What’s that noise outside? I hear a bird chirping. Can you see it? You are looking for the owner of the voice. I couldn’t see it either but we can hear it!

#2 Get to Their Eye Level:

Do you remember how it feels when somebody talks while standing over you? Even when the feeling was positive, it could still feel “off.”

Babies and young children are almost always smaller than us adults. So sitting or kneeling down, or picking them up - eye contact says “You are important, I see you” without any words. My brother-in-law and his 1st baby daughter can sit and stare into one’s another eyes for a long time, it is such a unique communication that foster relationship between them!

Get to their level when both of you are relaxed and playing, Talk and laugh with them. Get to their level when they are tired, upset, frustrated, or unwell. Tell them you feel what they are feeling are difficult and you are here with them (more on this tip later)

Caution: If you get angry, upset, or tired, which happen because we are human. Take time to calm down before reconnecting. Look them in the eyes when you apologize you scared them.

#1 Give Babies a Head-Up:

Example: say it out loud when you are going to turn off the light, when you are going to change their diapers, making a bottle, etc.

the more they can predict what is going on in their environment, the more they feel safe and trust you as a caregivers!
