The way they are comforted when they cry. The way their emotions are received. The way they learn whether they are accepted exactly as they are, or only when they behave a certain way.These experiences become the foundation of the inner child they will carry for the rest of their lives.In The Art and Science of Raising an Emotionally Safe Child, Cheryl B. Rowder, PhD, RN combines attachment science, developmental neuroscience, and decades of clinical experience to help parents understand how emotional safety is built—and how it can be nurtured from infancy through adolescence.This is not a book about perfect parenting.It is a book about creating the conditions that help children develop secure attachment, healthy self-worth, emotional resilience, and the ability to trust themselves and others.Through practical guidance, real-life examples, research-backed insights, and compassionate reflection, you'll discover how everyday interactions shape the developing brain, nervous system, and sense of self.INSIDE THIS BOOK, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:1.
