What Does Connecting With Kids Mean for Dr. Laura Markham?
Connection is the second of Markham's three keys, after a parent regulates their own emotions. She tells Shane Parrish it is a relationship, not a method, and that it is not a different job for mothers than for fathers. Attachment research, she says, shows that by 14 months a baby has already decided whether each important adult will comfort them, allow anger and the rest of their feelings, and still meet their needs. Children revise that picture if the adult changes. A grandparent, a nanny, or a teacher who stays in their life gives them more than one model. A fight about a birthday party is often a fight about values built on those early bonds.
