Introducing the 3 Skills

Nurturings tucks the research-based Eight Principles of Parenting into 3 parenting skills that academic literature shows are irreducible requirements for children to flourish:

The 3 easy to remember parenting skills that encompass the three "irreducible requirements for children to flourish" while easily flexing with family circumstances and growing children's changing needs:
1. Share Time Together
2. Soothe Distress
3. Shape Routines

When have you shared time together with your child today? How do you soothe your child when sad, scared, and angry? How do you shape your child's wellbeing through daily routines?

Shared "together time" with caring adults on a regular basis

"Follow your child's lead with delight" is different from, and as important, as other time we spend being in the lead with our children

Soothed in times of distress by caring adults

Empathy, hugs, nurturing touch, and "just being there" are as important, and different from, helping our children to problem solve.

Shaped and guided in growth by caring adults

Using proactive, broad, dynamic, and responsive routines allows parents to shape growth instead of struggling to keep up or stay a step ahead. Our routines shape the everyday interactions that shape our children over time. Responding to behavior is also important. Focusing on the relationship creates deeper and lasting shifts that help parents see that every moment is a new opportunity for positive relationship-building.
