This 5:20 minute artfully designed video reviews the relational tasks that engaging and responsive caregivers bring to the parent-child interaction. The video outlines the significance of sensitivity of response, teaching culturally informed emotional management and co-regulation skills to support school readiness. Dr. Stroud further describes the tasks of childhood, such as reading and responding to the cues of others, emotional management (understanding my feeling states and the emotions of others) as well as discerning the individualized relationship responses for diverse settings such as home, school, playground and more. This video is a powerful teaching tool for understanding emotional management at any age.
