EMOTIONS AND NEEDS INQUIRY FOR PARENTS
When we become parents our brains get enhanced neuroplasticity- especially in our emotional brain areas that underlie our parenting abilities and our mental health
So infancy is an incredible opportunity to shape your parent brain towards better mental health.
A really important skill we can learn is to understand our emotions and needs.
As nurturing parents we have a lot of emotions - powerful ones - some that feel really good and some that feel really uncomfortable.
When we investigate our emotions - we gain powerful abilities to self - regulate, reshape our brains towards resilience and become models of good mental health to our babies.
