Though our little boy is still so tiny, I can already see the relevance of being mindful and attuning to his natural style of being in the world. He used to love baths than became fearful because of a loud echoing sneeze recently. We waited a few days before re-introducing him to the bath, changed the environment with indirect dimmed lighting (he loves little lights) and some relaxing music. We aligned bath time with an alert playful state on his part and an energized yet relaxed mood on our part. I think he felt safe again and somewhere, respected for the individual he is with preferences and legitimate feelings. We will transfer the wisdom of this experience as you counsel, to any new activity including Winter fun. Thank you.
