This father consoling his baby son at the doctor’s office is so cute 😊

This father is doing SO much more than consoling his infant son...

• This father is showing up as a pillar of safety; he’s told his son he acknowledges and believes in the boy’s strength.

• The father is completely present and accepting of his son’s story and helps him tell it. When the son recognizes that his father was fully present and heard the story of his experience of pain, the boy calms completely.

It’s a fine example of exemplary parenting 😍
