Something that this made me think about that I have seen quite a few times with parents of small children is when they hurt themselves the parent will say "you're okay!" It strikes me as minimizing or dismissing the distress the child is in from their injury, even if it's not significant. Could that be an example of failing to attune to your child or is responding to their injury and reassuring them they are okay actually an example of good attunement?
