Right?
Even easy infants get distressed sometimes.
It's just that their stress response isn't as toxic to us adults.
Right?
There are infants, I'm I used to be good colleagues with a researcher who did research on infant cries.
And there are infant cries that are just excruciating, that may actually cause.
cause some infants to be more at risk of maltreatment because of the characteristics of their cry.
So that just tells us what we already knew, but it tells us that it starts from zero.
There are kids who communicate that they're having difficulty meeting expectations, that they're distressed, that they're stressed in ways that are less adaptive than others.
It doesn't change throughout the lifespan.
So for me, whether it's infancy or two and three year olds or seventeen year olds, the goal is exactly the same.
Pay attention to the fact that the kid is distressed.
And by the way, even though that sounds like a no-brainer, it's not a given.
Don't be so caught up in what the frustration response is.
I fully acknowledge some frustration responses are less adaptive, more disruptive, more dangerous than others, and
pay attention to what the kid is communicating and collaborate with the kid on solving those problems together.
A lot of what we've been doing since BF Skinner is we've been paying attention to the behavior and we've been trying to modify it.
And the bad news is
Rewarding and or punishing behavior does not solve a single problem that's causing that behavior.
We're covering a lot of territory here.
