The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired<\/a><\/h3>

One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out\u2014in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships\u2014is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn\u2019t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it\u2019s simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child\u2019s healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S\u2019s:

\n\n* Safe: We can\u2019t always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change.
\n* Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions\u2014both positive and negative\u2014and strive to attune to what\u2019s happening in his mind beneath his behavior.
\n* Soothed: Soothing isn\u2019t about providing a life of ease; it\u2019s about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you\u2019ll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he\u2019ll never have to suffer alone.
\n* Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up\u2014when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive!
\n
\nBased on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S\u2019s effectively in all kinds of situations\u2014when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don\u2019t show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it\u2019s never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child\u2019s healthy emotional landscape.
