•Tune in and learn your child’s signals. Help your child calm down when you sense that she is stressed or scared. Soothe your child, and teach ways to calm down when feeling upset.
•Talk and play with your child. Babies like to be rocked, cuddled, and massaged. Toddlers thrive on hugs, shared stories and songs, and daily routines. These actions can help children feel seen, heard, and understood.
•Focus on managing your own stress. This can help you better adjust the way these feelings impact how you respond to your child. Having a calm parent will help protect your child during periods of stress.
•Take your child to regular medical visits. Your medical provider can help you understand when your child’s health may be at risk.
