The Belly Brain is all about safety for your child. Its about their ability to keep themselves safe when you are not around.

A critical aspect of this safety is the fact that when the Belly Brain goes off, your child comes to you to tell you about it. They need to know and trust that one, you’ll be there for them and two, you listen to them when they tell you what’s going on.

This is easier said than done for many parents. It is very important that when you child tells you something that happens with the Belly Brain that you listen calmly and quietly. They need to tell you in their own words what is going on and know that you will let them finish.

Staying calm, being a “rock” solid anchor for them, is simply setting up a trusting relationship for their lifetime between you and your child.

We all know the advantages to playing games with your child, is a great way to teach them safety with fear and paranoia. It’s the types of games you play with them that will really make a difference.

Playing games that help your child tune into their environment, more specifically, details in that environment, is the best type of game to play. Once they are good at seeing things in their world, start to change them around and ask them to tell you what the changes are. Start where it’s pretty obvious and move into very subtle changes as they get better and better with their focus and observational powers.

When they get really good at perceiving even the smallest changes, you can create games and fun with the entire family no matter where you go and what you do, all the time building safety “behind the scenes” in your child.
