I am the author of the book Sigh, See, Start: How to Be the Parent Your Child Needs in a World That Won’t Stop Pushing—A Science-Based Method in Three Simple Steps. Our kids are growing up in a worldwide anxiety epidemic and that makes how we approach parenting them even more important.

Since the advent of the helicopter parent, trending parenting advice has pushed the idea that parents should stay in sync with their kids at all times. In contrast, afinds that higher parent-child synchrony may be a signal that something is not working in the interaction. More parental attunement does not imply a better relationship, but may instead reflect interaction issues.

Regarding behavior, the dyads were scored on “how much turn-taking there was during the interaction,” says Vrtička, “which reflects how well the parents take their children's perspective into consideration.” By attachment representation, Vrtička explains that he means children’s thinking about the availability and responsiveness of others, and their own capacity to elicit help when needed. These stories also show whether the children have positive or negative views of their parents being available and of responding sensitively and appropriately to their needs.
