One of the key things that I always tell my co-parents is: being with is enough. Even if you have nothing to say or when you’re kid is having a fit. Just be with them, calmly and quietly.
Then your child will realize that their parent can handle them. They have a parent who knows how to be present, and they aren’t trying to fix anything, make it go away, or change the child’s emotions. Presence is absolutley key.
– Aurisha Smolarski, LMFT
