The things we say matter: our words have power, for good or for ill. Think before you speak.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Phrases such “Is she a good girl?” “Are you still on those tablets?” “Are you still feeding/carrying that baby?” are dripping with unspoken judgement and can destabilise many.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What words or phrases do you find hardest?

It seems so obvious; we learn how to cope with stress by being with people who help us, reassure us, reinforce our sense of security. In time we become confident that we can manage difficulties and begin to stretch ourselves further and further, growing into the spaces our wise parents create for us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trying to encourage a young child to develop “independence” by separating them from all sources of support doesn’t help.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t be afraid to hold and carry your baby. Don’t be afraid the sling will make them clingy. You’re building a strong foundation from which they will confidently explore the world. It’s worth giving children this time to develop.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We shouldn’t even need to be saying this stuff to the new parents among us. It should be normal and obvious. Until then, let’s keep saying it over and over again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Don’t fight your baby’s desire to be close to you; it’s entirely normal. It’s part of their survival instinct.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meet their need for close contact and cuddles: it helps to build a happy brain that trusts the world is kind and safe (rather than harsh and dangerous). Make sure you have support around you, you’re not meant to bring up children alone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
