Why We All Need to Practice Emotional First Aid? (Excerpt)

摘要

I recently was at a friend''s house,and their five-year-old was getting ready for bed.He was standing on a stool by the sink,brushing his teeth,then he slipped and scratched his leg on the stool when he fell.He cried for a minute,but then he got back up,got back on the stool,and reached out for a box of Band-Aids to put one on his cut.Now,this kid could barely tie his shoelaces,but he knew you have to cover a cut so it doesn''t become infected,and you have to care for your teeth by brushing twice a day.
