Speaker: Dr. Dan Siegel Source: Childhood Lies Making Us Feel Lost & Empty - How To Raise Mentally Resilient Children with Dan Siegel | Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Dr. Dan Siegel is well known for many concepts and ideas around parenting, but one of his main shared concepts is the 4 S's: safe, seen, soothed, and secure. He elaborates on these in his discussion with Dr. Chatterjee, and here he is describing what soothe really means. I really like how beautifully Dr. Siegel considers and describes connection as it relates to the parent-child relationship. So much of our parenting (and children's) woes can be remedied by seeking a deeper connection with understanding and grace. Our children just need our presence and a desire to understand. If we can offer that, we're doing great. Share this post with another parent who needs to hear it!
