Do you make your kids feel safe? It seems like a simple question answered resolutely by the fact that your kid holds you close or cuddles tightly in new or stressful situations. But feeling safe is a much wider concept than that — and the minor anxieties that kids deal with constantly can easily upend that feeling, especially when their safety is put to question by their parent. So how do parents make their kids feel safe? Yelling without an apology would obviously throw them into confusion. There’s no coming back from spanking (just don’t do it). And taking the young one on a roller coaster they aren’t begging for would probably be unwise. But felt safety is more than just protecting kids from scary situations. It’s about something else entirely: making them feel seen.
