Will you notice me? What children learn from how we respond to their distress
About this episode
This episode explores how children's distress signals their need to be seen and how caregivers can shape their expectations through responses.
What if children's distress is not just a problem to solve, but a signal of their need to be seen? This article and podcast episode explore how children's expectations about availability and effectiveness of support from close others develop through repeated interactions with multiple caregivers . Using a psychological lens - in particular looking at attachment theory - we explore how educators and parents/carers can shape these expectations of care through their everyday responses to children's distress.
