4.126 SOCIAL INTERACTION: Affect and Engagement: Use an object for self-soothing
Your child will start to show preferences for certain objects or experiences. It’s useful for your child to have a preferred object they can use for soothing when they are tired or upset. Using a soothing object helps your child learn to self-regulate their emotions.
Today’s activity: Observe what object helps your child feel soothed and make it available consistently. Use a word to describe how they are feeling to help them learn to recognize and label their internal state.
Use these charts as a checklist for your child's progress.
