3.0

Good reassurance for those willing to pause their careers and excellent research for those on the fence. If you are a working mommy, skip chapter three because you'll find nothing but guilt. Otherwise, the rest of the book provides some nice tactics for being present for your child.

Techniques for being present
-mimic your baby's emotions to show them that that they are recognized and understood (a beginning stage to learning empathy)
-name their emotions
-do not leave their presence while they are upset. Be their external conscience by setting boundaries and rules and they will eventually internalize it.
-remain calm and talk through their experience and their current emotions.
