Ryan and Heidi discuss the importance of us as parents being able to use the tools of co-regulation and objective noticing to teach self-regulation to our children.
* We all what our children to have a competitive edge in life- to be emotionally intelligent, resilient, and confident about taking on any challenge in life * In the US culture, we have noticed how many men are raised to suppress their emotions as they are growing up * Downplaying our children's physical sensations that are leading to big emotions teaches our kids to question, ignore, and mistrust their own internal experience * Diminishing the signal of pain teaches our children that they are bad or wrong for feeling * The goal is to allow ourselves to feel fully in one moment and to let go in the next * The old model vs. the new model of parenting a child through their own discomfort * What is co-regulation? Co-regulation involves one person staying present for another through a challenging experience such that the stressed individual experiences greater self-awareness * How to practice the 3 A's: Attention, Acceptance, Allowance * Using objective noticing to help our children identify the sensations they are experiencing without the "thought story they may want to attach to the experience
